Abstract
An input-shaping method for a group-modulated input scheme in a plurality of computing-in-memory applications is configured to shape a plurality of multi-bit input signals. The input-shaping method for the group-modulated input scheme in the plurality of computing-in-memory applications includes performing an input splitting step, a threshold setting step and an input shaping step. The input splitting step includes splitting the multi-bit input signals into a plurality of input sub-groups via an input-shaping unit. The threshold setting step includes setting at least one shaping threshold via the input-shaping unit. The input shaping step includes shaping at least one of the input sub-groups according to the at least one shaping threshold via the input-shaping unit to form a plurality of shaped multi-bit input signals so as to increase a probability of a bit equal to 0 occurring in the at least one of the input sub-groups.
