Abstract
A neural network architecture has a plurality of nodes, with each node being implemented in a CAP-RAM macro comprised of two or more rows of 6T-cell clusters. An analog voltage level present on each row can be sampled by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which sends a voltage value, in digital form, to a digital periphery. A first input to each of the ADCs is connected to an output line of a first CAP-RAM that is currently active, and a second ADC input is connected to an output of a second CAP-RAM that is in retention mode. Each ADC operates to sample an analog voltage level on an output line associate with the one CAP-RAM that is currently active.
