The invention relates to the technical field of
integrated circuit design, in particular to a charge domain linear weighting circuit based on a
capacitor network. According to the invention, the
capacitor network meeting the binary proportion is constructed to cooperate with
sequential control, weighting is directly realized in a
charge sharing mode, a complex analog weighting process is converted into a series of
charge sharing operations, the output analog
voltage can be directly sent to a quantization module, and a final digital result is obtained. A high-area and high-power-consumption DAC circuit does not need to be integrated, the weighting process is completed in a charge domain, the physical principle is based on the linear
charge conservation and
distribution law, and high precision of multi-bit MAC operation is further guaranteed; and N groups of multiplication operations can be synchronously completed in one
clock period by the SRAM row and column partition, so that the operation efficiency of the multi-bit MAC is greatly improved. The method is particularly suitable for in-memory calculation scenes of multi-bit multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation, and can be applied to the fields of edge AI equipment, neural network acceleration chips and the like.
