Abstract:
Various embodiments include devices and methods for a multi-bit multiplier-accumulator (MAC). Some embodiments may include an analog adder having a first adder capacitor. The first adder capacitor may add a plurality of single-bit MAC outputs by receiving the plurality of single-bit MAC outputs from a plurality of single-bit MACs, and storing the plurality of single-bit MAC outputs. In some embodiments, the analog adder may output a multi-bit MAC output based on addition of the stored plurality of single-bit MAC outputs.
