An array of variable resistance cells based on a programmable threshold transistor and a resistor connected in parallel is described. An input voltage applied to the transistor, and the programmable threshold of the transistor, can represent variables of sum-of-products operations. Programmable threshold transistors in the variable resistance cells comprise charge trapping memory transistors, such as floating gate transistors or dielectric charge trapping transistors. The resistor in the variable resistance cells can comprise a buried implant resistor connecting the current-carrying terminals (e.g. source and drain) of the programmable threshold transistor. A voltage sensing sense amplifier is configured to sense the voltage generated by the variable resistance cells as a function of an applied current and the resistance of the variable resistance cells.
