contents A 28nm dense 6T-SRAM Digital(D)/Analog(A) Hybrid compute-in-memory (CIM) macro supporting complex num-ber MAC operation is presented. By introducing a 2D-weighted Capacitor Array, a hybrid configuration is adopted where digital CIM is applied only to the upper bits and ana-log CIM is applied to the rest, without the need for input DACs resulting in improved accuracy and lower area overhead. The CIM prototype macro achieves 1.80 Mb/mm2 memory density and 0.435% RMS error. Complex CIM unit outputs real and imaginary part with a single conversion to reduce latency.
