Abstract
Numerous embodiments are disclosed for verifying a weight programmed into a selected non-volatile memory cell in a neural memory. In one embodiment, a circuit for verifying a weight programmed into a selected non-volatile memory cell in a neural memory comprises a converter for converting a target weight into a target current and a comparator for comparing the target current to an output current from the selected non-volatile memory cell during a verify operation. In another embodiment, a circuit for verifying a weight programmed into a selected non-volatile memory cell in a neural memory comprises a digital-to-analog converter for converting a target weight comprising digital bits into a target voltage, a current-to-voltage converter for converting an output current from the selected non-volatile memory cell during a verify operation into an output voltage, and a comparator for comparing the output voltage to the target voltage during a verify operation.
