Abstract

A system includes an analog memory architecture for performing differential reading. The analog memory architecture includes a weight array including first cross-point devices located at intersections of a first set of conductive column wires and a first set of conductive row wires, and a reference array operatively coupled to the weight array and including second cross-point devices located at intersections of a second set of conductive column wires and a second set of conductive row wires. The second cross-point devices include differential unipolar switching memory devices configured to enable zero-value shifting of the outputs of the first cross-point devices.
