FinFET 6T-SRAM All-Digital Compute-in-Memory for Artificial Intelligence Applications: An Overview and Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized present-day life through automation and independent decision-making capabilities. For AI hardware implementations, the 6T-SRAM cell is a suitable candidate due to its performance edge over its counterparts. However, modern AI hardware such as neural networks (NNs) access off-chip data quite often, degrading the overall system performance. Compute-in-memory (CIM) reduces off-chip data access transactions. One CIM approach is based on the mixed-signal domain, but it suffers from limited bit precision and signal margin issues. An alternate emerging approach uses the all-digital signal domain that provides better signal margins and bit precision; however, it will be at the expense of hardware overhead. We have analyzed digital signal domain CIM s
