MEMORY DEVICE AND DATA WEIGHT STATE DETERMINING METHOD FOR IN-MEMORY COMPUTATION

A memory device for in-memory computation includes data channels, a memory cell array, a maximum accumulated weight generating array, a minimum accumulated weight generating array, a reference generator and a comparator. The data channels are selectively enabled according to data input. The memory cell array generates an accumulated data weight value according to the quantity of enabled data channels, a first resistance and a second resistance. The maximum accumulated weight generating array generates a maximum accumulated weight value according to the quantity of enabled data channels and the first resistance. The minimum accumulated weight generating array generates a minimum accumulated weight value according to the quantity of enabled data channels and the second resistance. The reference generator generates reference value(s) according to the maximum and minimum accumulated weight values. The comparator compares the accumulated data weight value with the reference value(s) to generate a data weight state.
