|---|---|---|
This work presents a 4 kb 8T-SRAM computation-in-memory (CIM) macro based on hybrid computation using digital in-memory-array computing (DIMAC) and phase-domain near-memory-array computing (PNMAC). By employing multiple local dual-column arrays (LDCAs), bit-wise multiplications are computed digitally in memory with high energy efficiency and throughput. The PNMAC performs the summation and accumulation in parallel with a high dynamic range by using a proposed steering-DAC-based differential current-controlled-oscillator (DCCO). After the phase-domain accumulation is completed, only a one-time digital conversion needs to be performed using a phase quantizer with negligible phase-to-digital conversion overhead. Moreover, by effectively reusing the steered current to accumulate the multiplication results fed from the DIMAC, the power consumption of the PNMAC can be greatly reduced. The macro fabricated in a 65 nm process achieves 22.4TOPS/W peak energy efficiency and
