Abstract:
A memory circuit has compute-in-memory (CIM) circuitry that performs computations based on time-to-digital conversion (TDC). The memory circuit includes an array of memory cells addressable with column address and row address. The memory circuit includes CIM sense circuitry to sense a voltage for multiple memory cells triggered together. The CIM sense circuitry including a TDC circuit to convert a time for discharge of the multiple memory cells to a digital value. A processing circuit determines a value of the multiple memory cells based on the digital value.
