Abstract
An in-memory computation circuit includes a memory array with SRAM cells connected in rows by word lines and in columns by bit lines. A row controller circuit simultaneously actuates word lines in parallel for an in-memory compute operation. A column processing circuit includes a read circuit that operates to reduce sensitivity to variation in bit line read current. Additionally, a testing circuit senses analog signals on the complementary bit lines to identify one of the complementary bit lines as having a less variable read current. That identified one of the complementary bit lines is coupled to the read circuit for the in-memory compute operation.
