  • Publication number: 20240037178
    Abstract: A compute-in-memory (CIM) circuit includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit includes a data-selection circuit and a charge-domain passive summation circuit. The data-selection circuit includes a memory array and a selection circuit. The memory array stores a plurality of candidate weights. The selection circuit selects a target weight from the plurality of candidate weights stored in the memory array. The charge-domain passive summation circuit generates an analog computation result of an input received by the processing circuit and the target weight stored in the memory array through a weighted capacitor array integrated with the memory array.

  • Patent number: 11159174
    Abstract: A multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) includes an operational amplifier, a sampling capacitor circuit, a pre-sampling capacitor circuit, and a switch circuit. During a sampling cycle, the switch circuit connects a pre-defined voltage and reference voltages to the pre-sampling capacitor circuit, disconnects the pre-sampling capacitor circuit from an input port of the operational amplifier and the sampling capacitor circuit, disconnects an output port of the operational amplifier from the sampling capacitor circuit, and connects a voltage input to the sampling capacitor circuit.
