Abstract
The method provides for a low power and a temperature independent analog to digital convertor for systems which use non-volatile cells for forming neurons to be used for neural network applications. The method uses a common counter which can be an up-counter or a down-counter depending on implementation, but in which the source and sink currents to a comparator are changed with temperature by the same percentage as the average bit line current for specific weight distributions programmed in the non-volatile cells forming the neurons. The method uses charge accumulation for detecting the average neuron current.
