Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for mimicking neuro-biological architectures that may be present in a nervous system are described herein. A memory device may include a memory unit configured to store a value. A memory unit may include a first memory cell (e.g., an aggressor memory cell) and a plurality of other memory cells (e.g., victim memory cells). The memory unit may use thermal disturbances of the victim memory cells that may be based on an access operation to store the analog value. Thermal energy output by the aggressor memory cell during an access operation (e.g., a write operation) may cause the state of the victim memory cells to alter based on thermal relationship between the aggressor memory cell and at least some of the victim memory cells. The memory unit may be read by detecting and combining the weights of the victim memory cells during a read operation.

Claim (Index 1):
A device, comprising:\n a plurality of digit lines; a plurality of word lines; a neural memory unit comprising a plurality of memory cells coupled with the plurality of digit lines and the plurality of word lines, the neural memory unit configured to store an analog value, the neural memory unit comprising: a primary memory cell configured to receive a programming pulse during a write operation of the neural memory unit; and a plurality of secondary memory cells configured to be thermally coupled with the primary memory cell during the write operation, each secondary memory cell being thermally coupled with the primary memory cell according to a thermal relationship, wherein the analog value stored in the neural memory unit is based at least in part on each thermal relationship between the plurality secondary memory cells and the primary cell.
