Abstract
Numerous examples are disclosed for an output block coupled to a non-volatile memory array in a neural network and associated methods. In one example, a circuit for converting a current in a neural network into an output voltage comprises a non-volatile memory cell comprises a word line terminal, a bit line terminal, and a source line terminal, wherein the bit line terminal receives the current; and a switch for selectively coupling the word line terminal to the bit line terminal; wherein when the switch is closed, the current flows into the non-volatile memory cell and the output voltage is provided on the bit line terminal.
