Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices that perform multiplication using logical states of memory cells. In one approach, a memory cell array has memory cells programmed to store weights for performing the multiplication. Voltages are applied to the memory cells. Each voltage represents one or more input bits to be multiplied by one of the weights. Output currents from the memory cells are accumulated in a common bitline. A sum of the output currents is digitized to provide a digital result. The digital results from several bitlines can be shifted based on bit significance and added to provide a final accumulation result from the multiplication.
