Abstract
Some embodiments relate to an integrated circuit including first and second charge-trapping devices and a control circuit. The first charge-trapping device includes a first charge-trapping structure arranged over a substrate between a first gate structure and a first channel region. The second charge-trapping device is coupled in series with the first charge-trapping device and includes a second charge-trapping structure arranged over the substrate between a second gate structure and a second channel region. The control circuit is coupled to the first and second gate structures and is configured to store a first input of an IMPLY operation as a stored value of the first charge-trapping device, store a second input of the IMPLY operation as a stored value of the second charge-trapping device, and update the stored value of the second charge-trapping device based on the stored value of the first charge-trapping device to perform the IMPLY operation.
