    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device has a charge pump for providing a programming current and an array of non-volatile memory cells. Each memory cell of the array is programmed by the programming current from the charge pump. The array of non-volatile memory cells is partitioned into a plurality of units, with each unit comprising a plurality of memory cells. An indicator memory cell is associated with each unit of non-volatile memory cells. A programming circuit programs the memory cells of each unit using the programming current, when fifty percent or less of the memory cells of each unit is to be programmed, and programs the inverse of the memory cells of each unit and the indicator memory cell associated with each unit, using the programming current, when more than fifty percent of the memory cells of each unit is to be programmed.

    Abstract: A neural network device with synapses having memory cells each having a floating gate and a first gate over first and second portions of a channel region between source and drain regions, and a second gate over the floating gate or the source region. First lines each electrically connect the first gates in one of the memory cell rows, second lines each electrically connect the second gates in one of the memory cell rows, third lines each electrically connect the source regions in one of the memory cell rows, fourth lines each electrically connect the drain regions in one of the memory cell columns, and a plurality of transistors each electrically connected in series with one of the fourth lines. The synapses receive a first plurality of inputs as electrical voltages on gates of the transistors, and provide a first plurality of outputs as electrical currents on the third lines.

    Abstract: In one example, a system comprises a vector-by-matrix multiplication array comprising non-volatile memory cells arranged into rows and columns, a first set of columns storing W+ weights and a second set of columns storing W− weights; and an output circuit to receive a first current from a respective column in the first set of columns and a second current from a respective column in the second set of columns and to generate a first voltage and a second voltage, the output circuit comprising a first current-to-voltage converter comprising a first integration capacitor to provide the first voltage equal to an initial voltage minus a first discharge value due to the first current, and a second current-to-voltage converter comprising a second integration capacitor to provide the second voltage equal to the initial voltage minus a second discharge value due to the second current.
