Abstract
A ternary processing cell used as a memory cell and capable of in-memory arithmetic is disclosed which includes a first memory cell, adapted to hold a first digital value, a second memory cell, adapted to hold a second digital value, wherein a binary combination of the first digital value and the second digital value establishes a first ternary operand, a ternary input establishing a second ternary operand, and a ternary output, wherein the ternary output represents a multiplication of the first ternary operand and the second ternary operand.
