  • Publication number: 20230050279
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first encoder, a compute in-memory (CIM) array and a de-encoder. The first encoder is configured to quantize a first received signal into a first signal. The first received signal has a first floating point number format. The first signal has an integer number format. The compute in-memory (CIM) array is coupled to the first encoder. The CIM array is configured to generate a CIM signal in response to at least the first signal. The CIM signal has the integer number format. The de-encoder is coupled to the CIM array, and is configured to generate a first output signal in response to the CIM signal. The first output signal has a second floating point number format.

  • Patent number: 11393527
    Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, one embodiment includes a memristor that is caused to be in a particular resistance state by a voltage applied across terminals of the memristor. A first logical input and a second logical input that are below a threshold voltage of the memristor are applied to a first terminal of the memristor. A first control input and a second control input are applied to a second terminal of the memristor. A logical output is determined based on a resistance state of the memristor.

  • Patent number: 10340001
    Abstract: Methods are provided for mitigating problems caused by sneak-paths current during memory cell access in gateless arrays. Example methods contemplated herein utilize adaptive-threshold readout techniques that utilize the locality and hierarchy properties of the computer memory system to address this sneak-paths problem. The method of the invention is a method for reading a target memory cell located at an intersection of a target row of a gateless array and a target column of the gateless array, the method comprising: —reading a value of the target memory cell; and—calculating an actual value of the target memory cell based on the read value of the memory cell and a component of the read value caused by sneak path current. Utilizing either an “initial bits” strategy or a “dummy bits” strategy in order to calculate the component of the read value caused by sneak path current, example embodiments significantly reduce the number of memory accesses pixel for an array readout.
