A matrix multiplication device and an operation method thereof are provided. The matrix multiplication device includes a plurality of unit circuits. Each of the unit circuits includes a multiplying-adding circuit, a first register, and a second register. A first input terminal and a second input terminal of the multiplying-adding circuit are respectively coupled to a corresponding first input line and a corresponding second input line. An input terminal and an output terminal of the first register are respectively coupled to an output terminal and a third input terminal of the multiplying-adding circuit. The second register is coupled to the first register to receive and temporarily store a multiplication accumulation result. Wherein, the second registers of the unit circuits output the multiplication accumulation results in a column direction in a first output mode, and output the multiplication accumulation results in a row direction in a second output mode.
