    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for a computing-in memory circuit that includes a bit line and a plurality of computing cells connected to the bit line. Each of the plurality of computing cells includes a memory element, having a data output terminal; a logic element, having a first input terminal, a second input terminal and an output terminal, wherein the first input terminal is coupled to the data output terminal of the memory element, the second input terminal receives a select signal; and a capacitor, having a first terminal and a second terminal, where the first terminal is coupled to the output terminal of the logic element, the second terminal is coupled to the bit line. A voltage of the bit line is driven by the plurality of computing cells.

    摘要: An in-memory computing device includes in some examples a two-dimensional array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns, each memory cell made of a nine-transistor current-based SRAM. Each memory cell includes a six-transistor SRAM cell and a current source coupled by a switching transistor, which is controlled by input signals on an input line, to an output line associates with the column of memory cells the memory cell is in. The current source includes a switching transistor controlled by the state of the six-transistor SRAM cell, and a current regulating transistor adapted to generate a current at a level determined by a control signal applied at the gate. The control signal can be set such that the total current in each output line is increased by a factor of 2 in each successive column of the memory cells.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes: a local write bit (LWB) line; a local write bit_bar (LWB_bar) line; a global write bit (GWB) line; a global write bit_bar (GWBL_bar) line; a column of segments, each segment including bit cells; each of the bit cells including a latch circuit and first and second pass gates connecting the corresponding LWB and LWB_bar lines to the latch circuit; and a distributed write driving arrangement. The distributed write driving arrangement includes: a global write driver including a first inverter connected between the GWB line and the LWB line, and a second inverter connected between the GWB_bar line and the LWB_bar line; and a local write driver included at an interior of each segment, each local write driver including a third inverter connected between the GWB line and the LWB line; and a fourth inverter connected between the GWB_bar line and the LWB_bar line.
