US Patent Issued to QUALCOMM on Aug. 11 for "Compute-in-memory with current transition detection" (California, Massachusetts Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,706,128, issued on Aug. 11, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Compute-in-memory with current transition detection" was invented by Seohee Kim (San Diego), Chulmin Jung (San Diego) and Dimple Vijay Kochar (Cambridge, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A compute-in-memory system is provided in which a plurality of compute-in-memory bitcells couple to a read bit line. Depending upon sequential binary multiplications in the compute-in-memory bitcells, a current from the read bit line sequentially increases. A transition detection circuit detects and counts the current transitions to provide a multiply-and-accumulate result from t...
