  • Publication number: 20260134917
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a crossbar circuit for performing in-memory computing and methods for performing vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) using the crossbar circuit. The crossbar circuit may include crossbar subarrays, trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs), and analog-to-digital converter (ADCs). The crossbar subarrays may be programmed sequentially to compensate for residual errors associated with the previously programmed crossbar subarrays. For example, a first crossbar subarray may be programmed based on target conductance values. A second crossbar subarray may then be programmed based on the programming error associated with the first crossbar subarray. After the programming of the crossbar subarrays, input signals representative of an input matrix may be applied to the programmed crossbar subarrays. The TIAs may generate output voltages representative of accumulated current on the bit lines of the programmed crossbar subarrays.
