Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A device, comprising:
a buffer;
an inference logic circuit;
voltage drivers; and
memory cells;
wherein the device is configured to receive, in the buffer, image data having pixel values; and
wherein the inference logic circuit is configured to:
generate, from the pixel values, inputs to a set of artificial neurons;
identify a region of the memory cells having threshold voltages programmed to represent a weight matrix for the set of artificial neurons;
instruct the voltage drivers to apply first voltages to the region of the memory cells according to the inputs;
obtain, based on the region of the memory cells responsive to the first voltages, first data from an operation of multiplication and accumulation applied on the weight matrix and the inputs; and
apply activation functions of the set of artificial neurons to the first data to generate second data representative of outputs of the set of artificial neurons.
