Abstract
Certain aspects provide methods and apparatus for in-memory convolution computation. An example circuit for such computation generally includes a memory cell having a bit-line and a complementary bit-line and a computation circuit coupled to a computation input node of the circuit and at least one of the bit-line or the complementary bit-line. In certain aspects, the computation circuit comprises a counter, an NMOS transistor coupled to the memory cell, and a PMOS transistor coupled to the memory cell, drains of the NMOS and PMOS transistors being coupled to the counter.
