SYSTÈME ET PROCÉDÉ METTANT EN OEUVRE UN MOTEUR D'INFÉRENCE PAR OPTIMISATION D'UNE OPÉRATION DE PROGRAMMATION

摘要

A memory device that includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in rows and columns, a plurality of bit lines each connected to one of the columns of memory cells, and a plurality of differential sense amplifiers each having first and second inputs and an output. For each of the differential sense amplifiers, the differential sense amplifier is configured to generate an output signal on the output having an amplitude that is based upon a difference in signal amplitudes on the first and second inputs, the first input is connected to one of the bit lines, and the second input is connected to another one of the bit lines. Alternately, one or more sense amplifiers are configured to detect signal amplitudes on the bit lines, and the device includes calculation circuitry configured to produce output signals each based upon a difference in signal amplitudes on two of the bit lines.
