摘要: A multiplier-accumulator accepts A and B digital inputs and generates a dot product P by applying the bits of the A input and the bits of the B inputs to unit elements comprised of groups of AND gates coupled to charge transfer lines through a capacitor Cu. The number of bits in the B input is a number of AND-groups and the number of bits in A is the number of AND gates in an AND-group. Each unit element receives one bit of the B input applied to all of the AND gates of the unit element, and each unit element having the bits of A applied to each associated AND gate input of each unit element. The AND gates are coupled to charge transfer lines through a capacitor Cu, and the charge transfer lines couple to binary weighted charge summing capacitors which sum and scale the charges from the charge transfer lines, the charge coupled to an analog to digital converter which forms the dot product output. The charge transfer lines may span multiple unit elements.

摘要: An arithmetic apparatus includes input lines and multiply-accumulate devices. An electrical signal for an input value is input into each of the input lines within a predetermined input period. Multiplication units include a positive weight multiplication unit that generates a positive weight charge for a product value obtained by multiplying the input value by a positive weight value and/or a negative weight multiplication unit that generates a negative weight charge for a product value obtained by multiplying the input value by a negative weight value. They are configured such that a positive weight ratio that is a ratio of a sum total of the positive weight values to a sum total of absolute values of the weight values is any ratio of 0% to 100%. An output unit of the multiply-accumulate device accumulates the generated weight charges to output a multiply-accumulate signal representing a sum of the product values.
