Title:
COMPUTE-IN-MEMORY CHIP, AND MEMORY UNIT ARRAY STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/258360
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a compute-in-memory chip and a memory unit array structure. The memory unit array comprises: multiple memory unit sub-arrays arranged in an array. The memory unit sub-arrays comprise: multiple switch units and multiple memory units arranged in an array. The memory units have an adjustable threshold voltage. In each column, all memory units have a first end thereof connected to a source line and a second end thereof connected to a bit line. In each row, all memory units have a third end thereof connected to a word line via one of the switch units. Multiple rows of memory units are correspondingly connected to the multiple switch units, each of the multiple switch units has a control end thereof connected to a local word line of the memory unit sub-array, and the local word line is controlled to control whether to activate the memory unit sub-array. In this way, the invention enables all memory unit sub-arrays in one row to share multiple DACs, and all memory unit sub-arrays in one column to share multiple ADCs, thereby reducing the circuit area, lowering the circuit cost, and meeting requirements of a high integration level and a low cost.
