A Twin-8T SRAM Computation-in-Memory Unit-Macro for Multibit CNN-Based AI Edge Processors

Computation-in-memory (CIM) is a promising candidate to improve the energy efficiency of multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations of artificial intelligence (AI) chips. This work presents an static random access memory (SRAM) CIM unit-macro using: 1) compact-rule compatible twin-8T (T8T) cells for w...
