Abstract
Disclosed is a neural network accelerator including a first bit operator generating a first multiplication result by performing multiplication on first feature bits of input feature data and first weight bits of weight data, a second bit operator generating a second multiplication result by performing multiplication on second feature bits of the input feature data and second weight bits of the weight data, an adder generating an addition result by performing addition based on the first multiplication result and the second multiplication result, a shifter shifting a number of digits of the addition result depending on a shift value to generate a shifted addition result, and an accumulator generating output feature data based on the shifted addition result.
