Claim 8:
9. A method, comprising:
testing a memory array to identify a plurality of faulty cells in the memory array;
identifying in the plurality of faulty cells an excluded cell that meets at least one of a plurality of conditions, wherein the plurality of conditions are associated with a value of a first binary number corresponding to the excluded cell, wherein a first condition of the plurality of conditions indicates that a value of an exponent in the first binary number corresponding to the excluded cell is smaller than an accurate value of the exponent in the first binary number corresponding to the excluded cell;
replacing at least one cell of remaining cells in the plurality of faulty cells with a redundant cell; and
outputting a second binary number corresponding to the redundant cell as a read data to a neural network processor when the second binary number is between a first threshold value and a second threshold value.
