Neural network semiconductor device and system using the same
Abstract:
A semiconductor device capable of performing product-sum operation is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first memory cell, a second memory cell, and an offset circuit. The semiconductor device retains first analog data and reference analog data in the first memory cell and the second memory cell, respectively. A potential corresponding to second analog data is applied to each of them as a selection signal, whereby current depending on the sum of products of the first analog data and the second analog data is obtained. The offset circuit includes a constant current circuit comprising a transistor and a capacitor. A first terminal of the transistor is electrically connected to a first gate of the transistor and a first terminal of the capacitor. A second gate of the transistor is electrically connected to a second terminal of the capacitor. A voltage between the first terminal and the second gate of the transistor is held in the capacitor, whereby a change in source-drain current of the transistor can be suppressed.
