    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a circuit having first and second analog processors and an analog-to-digital converter coupled to the first and second analog processors. The first analog processor provides a first analog signal having a voltage representing a function of a first vector and a second vector. The second analog processor provides a second analog signal having a voltage representing a function of a binary inverse of the first vector and the second vector. The analog-to-digital converter receives the first analog signal and the second analog signal, compares a signal selected from a group consisting of the first analog signal and the second analog signal to a reference voltage and based on the comparison to the reference voltage, determines a digital result representing the function of the first vector and the second vector.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to circuits for computing vector-matrix multiplications involving negative values. A first memory crossbar array may be mapped to a first matrix which includes the positive values of an input matrix. A second memory crossbar array may be mapped to a second matrix which includes the negative values of the input matrix. An analog-to-digital converter may generate digital intermediate multiplication results based on analog results computed by the memory crossbar arrays. The digital intermediate multiplication results may include an intermediate result corresponding to a multiplication of each of the first vector and second vector with each of the first matrix and the second matrix. A controller may aggregate the digital intermediate results to generate a combined multiple result that represents the vector-matrix multiplication of the input vector and the input matrix.

    Abstract: Example implementations disclosed herein can be used to decode memory elements in a crosspoint array. In one example implementation, a drain voltage is applied to a drain terminal of a field effect transistor switch for a selected row in the crosspoint array associated with the selected memory element. A bulk terminal of the field effect transistor switch for the selected row can be biased with a well voltage that is independent of the drain, source, or substrate voltages. In such examples, the gate terminal of the field effect transistor switch for the selected row can be driven with a gate voltage comprising the drain voltage and the well voltage. The drain voltage, the well voltage, and the gate voltage are selected to cause the field effect transistor switch for the selected row to operate as an ohmic switch.
