Abstract:
A computation operator in memory and an operation method thereof are provided. The computation operator in memory includes a word line calculator, a decision-maker and a sense amplifier. The word line calculator calculates a number of enabled word lines of a memory. The decision-maker generates a plurality of reference signals according to at least one of the number of enabled word lines and a used size of the memory, the reference signals are configured to set a distribution range. The sense amplifier receives a readout signal of the memory, and obtains a computation result by converting the readout signal according to the reference signals.
