Utilization of Unsigned Inputs for NAND Flash-Based Parallel and High-Density Synaptic Architecture in Binary Neural Networks

A novel design method using unsigned input is proposed for a high-density and parallel synaptic string architecture capable of bit-wise operation and bit-counting utilizing NAND flash memory. Though the NAND flash memory has a cell string structure, unsigned binary input enables analogue and paralle...
