Abstract: A circuit includes a memory array with SRAM cells connected in rows by word lines and in columns by bit lines. A row controller circuit simultaneously actuates, through a word line driver circuit for each row, word lines in parallel for an in-memory compute operation. A column processing circuit processes analog voltages developed on the bit lines in response to the simultaneous actuation to generate a decision output for the in-memory compute operation. A bit line precharge circuit generates a precharge voltage for application to each pair of bit lines. The precharge voltage has a first voltage level (not greater than a positive supply voltage for the SRAM cells) when the memory array is operating in a data read/write mode. The precharge voltage has a second voltage level (greater than the first voltage level) in advance of the simultaneous actuation of the word lines for the in-memory compute operation.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes an array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. A word line is connected to the memory cells of each row. A row decoder circuit operates in response to an internal clock and an address to selectively apply a word line signal to one word line and further generate a dummy word line signal. A control circuit includes a clock generator that generates the internal clock which is reset in response to a reset signal. A first delay circuit receives the dummy word line signal and outputs a first delayed dummy word line signal. A second delay circuit receives the dummy word line signal and outputs a second delayed dummy word line signal. A multiplexer circuit selects between the first and second delayed dummy word line signals for output as the reset signal in response to a logic state of a mode control signal.
