Low-power compute-in-memory (CIM) systems employing CIM circuits that include static random access memory (SRAM) bit cells circuits. The CIM circuits can be used for multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations. The CIM circuits can include five-transistor (5T) SRAM bit cells that each have a single bit line coupled to an access circuit for accessing the SRAM bit cell for read/write operations. The CIM circuit also includes a multiplication circuit (e.g., an exclusive OR (XOR)-based circuit) coupled to the SRAM bit cell. The CIM circuit is configured to perform multiplication of an input data value received by the multiplication circuit with a weight data value stored in the SRAM bit cell. The reduction of an access circuit in the 5T SRAM bit cell allows the pull-up voltage at a supply voltage rail coupled to the inverters of the 5T SRAM bit cell to be reduced to reduce standby power while providing storage stability.

The present disclosure relates to circuits, systems, and methods of operation for a memory device. In an example, a memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell having a variable impedance that varies in accordance with a respective data value stored therein; and a read circuit configured to read the data value stored within a selected memory cell based upon a variable time delay determination of a signal node voltage change corresponding to the variable impedance of the selected memory cell.

A data device with a small circuit area and reduced power consumption is used. The data processing device includes a NAND memory portion and a controller. The memory portion includes a first string and a second string in different blocks. The first string includes a first memory cell, and the second string includes a second memory cell. On reception of first data and a signal including an instruction to write the first data, the controller writes the first data to the first memory cell. Then, the controller reads the first data from the first memory cell and writes the first data to the second memory cell.
