Query: AID: Accuracy Improvement of Analog Discharge-Based in-SRAM
  Multiplication Accelerator   This paper presents a novel circuit (AID) to improve the accuracy of an
energy-efficient in-memory multiplier using a standard 6T-SRAM. The
state-of-the-art discharge-based in-SRAM multiplication accelerators suffer
from a non-linear behavior in their bit-line (BL, BLB) due to the quadratic
nature of the access transistor that leads to a poor signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR). In order to achieve linearity in the BLB voltage, we propose a novel
root function technique on the access transistor's gate that results in
accuracy improvement of on average 10.77 dB SNR compared to state-of-the-art
discharge-based topologies. Our analytical methods and a circuit simulation in
a 65 nm CMOS technology verify that the proposed technique consumes 0.523 pJ
per computation (multiplication, accumulation, and preset) from a power supply
of 1V, which is 51.18% lower compared to other state-of-the-art techniques. We
have performed an extensive Monte Carlo based simulation for a 4x4
multiplication operation, and our novel technique presents less than 0.086
standard deviations for the worst-case incorrect output scenario.
