Abstract
A multiply-accumulate operation device, circuit and method are disclosed. In on example, a multiply-accumulate operation device includes input lines, multiplication units, an accumulation unit, a charging unit, and an output unit. Pulse signals having pulse widths corresponding to input values are input to the input lines. The multiplication units generate, based on the pulse signals, charges corresponding to multiplication values obtained by multiplying the input values by weight values. The accumulation unit accumulates a sum of the charges corresponding to the multiplication values. The charging unit charges the accumulation unit at a charging speed associated with its accumulation state. The output unit outputs a multiply-accumulate signal representing a sum of the multiplication values by executing threshold determination using a threshold value associated with the accumulation state of the accumulation unit on a voltage held by the accumulation unit after the charging by the charging unit is started.
