Abstract
A memory circuit includes a selection circuit, a column of memory cells, and an adder tree. The selection circuit is configured to receive input data elements, each input data element including a number of bits equal to H, and output a selected set of kth bits of the H bits of the input data elements. Each memory cell of the column of memory cells includes a first storage unit configured to store a first weight data element and a first multiplier configured to generate a first product data element based on the first weight data element and a first kth bit of the selected set of kth bits. The adder tree is configured to generate a summation data element based on each of the first product data elements.
