Abstract
A method of operation of a semiconductor device that includes the steps of coupling each of a plurality of digital inputs to a corresponding row of non-volatile memory (NVM) cells that stores an individual weight, initiating a read operation based on a digital value of a first bit of the plurality of digital inputs, accumulating along a first bit-line coupling a first array column weighted bit-line current, in which the weighted bit-line current corresponds to a product of the individual weight stored therein and the digital value of the first bit, and converting and scaling, an accumulated weighted bit-line current of the first column, into a scaled charge of the first bit in relation to a significance of the first bit.
