Abstract
A memory device is provided, comprising an encoder circuit, a memory array and an accumulator circuit. The encoder circuit converts a first bit of each of weights into a sign bit to generate encoded weights according to flag data. The memory array comprises memory cells. The memory cells arranged in a same column store bits, of the encoded weights and the flag data, having the same index number. The memory array performs a compute-in-memory (CIM) operation to the encoded weights and inputs to generate a plurality of CIM results. Each of the plurality of CIM results corresponds to a column of the memory array. The accumulator circuit decodes the CIM results according to the flag data to generate decoded CIM results.
