Abstract
A method for performing vector-matrix multiplication may include converting a digital input vector comprising a plurality of binary-encoded values into a plurality of analog signals using a plurality of one-bit digital to analog converters (DACs); sequentially performing, using an analog vector matrix multiplier and based on bit-order, vector-matrix multiplication operations using a weighting matrix for the plurality of analog signals to generate analog outputs of the analog vector matrix multiplier; sequentially performing an analog-to-digital (ADC) operation on the analog outputs of the analog vector matrix multiplier to generate binary partial output vectors; and combining the binary partial output vectors to generate a result of the vector-matrix multiplication.
