Abstract:
An artificial neural network operation circuit and an in-memory computation device of the artificial neural network operation circuit are proposed. The in-memory computation device includes a memory cell array, a compensation memory cell string, and an operator. The memory cell array has a plurality of memory cells to store a plurality of weight values. The memory cell array has a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines. Each compensation memory cell of the compensation memory cell string stores a unit weight value. The operator multiplies a signal on a compensation bit line by peak weight information of the weight values to generate a first signal and adds the first signal to each signal on the bit lines to obtain a plurality of computation results, respectively.
