Abstract

In an embodiment a method programming floating gate transistors belonging to non-volatile memory cells to multilevel threshold voltages respectively corresponding to the weight factors, performing a sensing operation of the programmed floating gate transistors with a control signal adapted to make the corresponding memory cells become conductive at an instant determined by a respective programmed threshold voltage, performing the convolutional computation by using the input values during an elapsed time for each memory cell to become conductive and outputting output values resulting from the convolutional computation.
