Abstract

Certain aspects provide a circuit for in-memory computation. The circuit generally includes an in-memory computation array having a plurality of computation circuits, each of the computation circuits being configured to perform a dot product computation. In certain aspects, each of the computation circuits includes a memory cell, a capacitive element, a precharge transistor coupled between an output of the memory cell and the capacitive element, and a read transistor coupled between a read bit line (RBL) and the capacitive element.
