Abstract: Methods for operating memory are disclosed. A method includes applying a select word line voltage to a word line node of a first resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell; applying a first programming voltage to a source line node of the first RRAM cell; and setting the first RRAM cell comprising applying a second programming voltage to a bit line node of the first RRAM cell. The first programming voltage is greater than zero volts, and the second programming voltage is greater than the first programming voltage. Other disclosed methods include concurrently setting and resetting RRAM cells.

Abstract: A circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a first pump circuit configured to receive a first reference voltage and provide an output voltage at a first level based on the first reference voltage. The circuit includes a second pump circuit configured to receive a second reference voltage and provide the output voltage at a second level based on the second reference voltage. The first reference voltage is lower than the second reference voltage, and the first level is lower than the second level.

Abstract: A circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor cross-coupled with each other such that a source of the first transistor and a source of the second transistor are connected to a power supply, a gate of the first transistor is connected to a drain of the second transistor at a first node, a gate of the second transistor is connected to a drain of the first transistor at a second node. The circuit can provide a first level of a word line voltage to the memory cell by directly coupling the power supply configured at a first level to the memory cell through the second transistor and a third transistor, and provide a second level of the word line voltage by directly coupling the power supply configured at a second level to the memory cell through the second transistor and the third transistor.

Abstract: A method for performing an in-memory computation includes: storing data in memory cells of a memory array, the data including weights for computation; determining whether an update command to change at least one of the weights is received; in response to receiving the update command, performing a write operation on the memory array to update the at least one weight; and disabling the write operation on the memory array until receiving a next update command to change the at least one weight.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes a selection circuit, a column of memory cells, and an adder tree. The selection circuit is configured to receive input data elements, each input data element including a number of bits equal to H, and output a selected set of kth bits of the H bits of the input data elements. Each memory cell of the column of memory cells includes a first storage unit configured to store a first weight data element and a first multiplier configured to generate a first product data element based on the first weight data element and a first kth bit of the selected set of kth bits. The adder tree is configured to generate a summation data element based on each of the first product data elements.

Abstract: A computing-in-memory circuit includes an input circuit to receive a number (N) of input pairs, each of the N input pairs comprising a first one and a second one of N exponents, and a first one and a second one of N mantissas; a first adder circuit to generate N exponent sums based on the first and second exponents of the N input pairs; a subtractor circuit configured to calculate N exponent differences, each of the N exponent differences being equal to a difference between a corresponding one of the N exponent sums and a largest one of the N exponent sums; and a comparator circuit to compare each of the N exponent differences with a threshold to generate N control signals. N mantissa products of the first and second mantissas of the N input pairs, respectively, are to be selectively combined based on the N control signals.

Abstract: A circuit includes cross coupled invertors including a first invertor and a second inventor. The first invertor and the second invertor are cross coupled at a first data node and a second data node. An input unit is coupled between the cross-coupled invertors and a power node. The input unit controls the cross-coupled invertors in response to a first input signal received at a first input terminal of the input unit and a second input signal received at a second input terminal of the input unit. A first transistor is connected between the power node and a supply node. The first transistor connects the power node to the supply node in response to an enable signal changing to a first value. A second transistor is connected between the power node and ground. The second transistor connects the power node to the ground in response to the enable signal changing to a second value.
