Memory device and operation method thereof for performing multiply-accumulate operation

Abstract

A memory device and an operation method thereof for performing a multiply-accumulate operation are provided. The memory device includes at least one memory string, a plurality of data lines and a string line. The memory string includes a plurality of unit cells having a plurality of stored values. The data lines are respectively connected to the unit cells to receive a plurality of data signals having a plurality of inputting values. When the data signals are inputted into the unit cells, a plurality of nodes among the unit cells are kept at identical voltages. The string line is connected to the memory string to receive a sensing signal and obtain a measured value representing a sum-of-product result of the inputting values and the stored values. The data signals and the sensing signal are received at different time.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
