| contents | This paper presents a novel architecture utilizing a 10T SRAM cell for XNOR-based in-memory computing, aimed at mitigating the extensive routing challenges typically encountered in conventional in-memory computing systems. By integrating a full adder between in-memory multiplication cells, the proposed design achieves a 50% reduction in routing complexity. The architecture performs multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations using XNOR computation optimized for binary neural networks (BNNs). Additionally, a 14T-based full adder is employed to construct an N-bit ripple carry adder in the adder tree, significantly reducing the area compared to traditional 28T-based CMOS designs. The 10T SRAM XNOR computation further enhances the latency for MAC operations. The proposed approach reduces the latency and area overhead, improving the overall hardware's area efficiency by 2.67x compared to the state-of-the-art. |
