Programmable circuits for performing machine learning operations on edge devices

Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and apparatus for programming a device having one or more programmable circuits to implement, for example, a machine learning model. One example apparatus generally includes a plurality of word lines, a plurality of bit lines, and an array of programmable circuits. Each programmable circuit is coupled to a corresponding word line in the plurality of word lines and to a corresponding bit line in the plurality of bit lines and comprises: a main resistor coupled between the corresponding word line and the corresponding bit line, an auxiliary resistor, a fuse coupled in series with the auxiliary resistor, wherein the auxiliary resistor and the fuse are coupled between the corresponding word line and the corresponding bit line, and a programming circuit configured to selectively blow the fuse.
