Abstract
An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a non-volatile memory cell and multi-bit input circuitry that simultaneously receives a plurality of bits, receives a supply voltage, converts the plurality of bits and the supply voltage into a multiply voltage, and applies the multiply voltage to the non-volatile memory cell. The non-volatile memory cell may pass a memory cell current in response to the multiply voltage. A magnitude of the multiply voltage may represent a multiplier. The memory cell current may represent a product of the multiplier and a multiplicand stored in the non-volatile memory cell.
