Abstract
Input digital bits are split into a first part and a second part. Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is configured to encode the first part and the second part into analog form as an activation pulse having width equivalent to magnitude of the first part in time units and a delay of a duration that is a fraction of one time unit of the time units, where the fraction is equivalent to magnitude of the second part divided by two raised to power of number of bits in the second part. Crossbar array coupled with the DAC stores weights encoded as analog conductance on resistive memory devices, and is configured to generate analog computation output responsive to the analog form of the input digital bits applied to the crossbar array. Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled with the crossbar array, is configured to digitize the analog computation output from the crossbar array.
