Abstract | Analog computing-in-memory (CIM) macro has been widely used in various machine learning (ML) applications, which parallelly perform energy- and areaefficient matrix-vector multiplication (MVM) operations. Compared with digital CIM, analog CIM has shown great efficiency on multi-bit MVM computations. However, the analog approaches accumulate the MVM results on the voltage domain, different accumulation lengths and data sparsity cause distinct signal swing degradation and variation. Hence, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) readout circuit requires more power and area to trade off with the noise and comparator offset. In this paper, we proposed a partial sum boosting (PSB) method to give 4.6× to 22.8× signal swing enhancement for multi-bit MVM, which mitigates severe ADC overhead for analog CIM. Furthermore, multi-bit 5T-SRAMs with diverse voltage supplies realize multi-bit uniform/non-uniform signand-magnitude (SNM) weight representation and save up to 38.8× SRAMs static power dissipation. The chip was fabricated in 28nm CMOS technology and measured a throughput density of 89.04 TOPS/mm2 and energy efficiency of 219.5 TOPS/W under 3-bit activation, 4-bit SNM weight with no truncation 5- bit partial sum readout condition. |
