A system for performing analog multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations employs at least one cross coupling capacitor processing unit (C3PU). A system includes a wordline to which an analog input voltage is applied, a voltage supply line having a supply voltage (VDD), a bitline, a clock signal line, a current integrator op-amp connected to the bitline and to the clock signal line, and a C3PU connected to the wordline. The C3PU includes a CMOS transistor and a capacitive unit. The capacitive unit includes a cross coupling capacitor and a gate capacitor. The cross coupling capacitor is connected between the wordline and the gate terminal of the CMOS transistor. The gate capacitor is connected between the gate terminal and ground. The CMOS transistor is configured to conduct a current that is proportional to voltage applied to the gate terminal.
