EMBER: Efficient Multiple-Bits-Per-Cell Embedded RRAM Macro for High-Density Digital Storage 150 150

Abstract:

Designing compact and energy-efficient resistive RAM (RRAM) macros is challenging due to: 1) large read/write circuits that decrease storage density; 2) low-conductance cells that increase read latency; and 3) the pronounced effects of routing parasitics on high-conductance cell read energy. Multiple-bits-per-cell RRAM can boost storage density but has further challenges resulting from …

A Dynamic Power-Only Compute-in-Memory Macro With Power-of-Two Nonlinear SAR ADC for Nonvolatile Ferroelectric Capacitive Crossbar Array

A Dynamic Power-Only Compute-in-Memory Macro With Power-of-Two Nonlinear SAR ADC for Nonvolatile Ferroelectric Capacitive Crossbar Array 150 150

Abstract:

Analog computing-in-memory (CIM) using emerging resistive nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies faces challenges, such as static power consumption, current flow-induced IR drop, and the need for multiple power-hungry ADCs. In this letter, we present ferroelectric capacitive array (FCA)-based energy/area-efficient CIM macro used for charge-domain multiply-and-accumulate operations, which addresses the …
