Abstract:
A compute in memory device comprises a memory array including a plurality of data lines for parallel access to memory array data, and an input/output interface. Data path circuits between the memory array and the input/output interface include a page buffer, each buffer cell of the page buffer including a plurality of storage elements. A plurality of computation circuits is provided connected to respective buffer cells. The computation circuits execute a function of data in the storage elements of the respective buffer cells and can be configured in parallel to generate a results data page including operation results for the plurality of buffer cells. A data analysis circuit is connected to the data path circuits to execute a function of the results data page to generate an analysis result. A register can be provided to store the analysis result accessible via the input/output interface.
