A transpose memory unit for a plurality of multi-bit convolutional neural network based computing-in-memory applications includes a memory cell and a transpose cell. The memory cell stores a weight. The transpose cell is connected to the memory cell and receives the weight from the memory cell. The transpose cell includes an input bit line, at least one first input word line, a first output bit line, at least one second input word line and a second output bit line. One of the at least one first input word line and the at least one second input word line transmits at least one multi-bit input value, and the transpose cell is controlled by the second word line to generate a multiply-accumulate output value on one of the first output bit line and the second output bit line according to the at least one multi-bit input value multiplied by the weight.
