Output array neuron conversion and calibration for analog neural memory in deep learning artificial neural network

A method of operating an output circuit block for analog neural memory cells, comprising:

• measuring offset or leakage and storing the measured amount as a first value;
• recalling the first value;
• performing a temperature adjustment;
• and
• determining a least significant bit (LSB) for a memory cell range using the formula:
• LSB=the first value rounded up to the next level.

A method of compensating for leakage or offset while generating an output from an output circuit block coupled to an array of analog neural memory cells, comprising:

• measuring leakage or offset in the output circuit block value using an analog-to-digital converter to generate a digital leakage or offset value;
• storing the digital leakage or offset value as a first value in a counter;
• and
• compensating for the leakage or offset.
