Abstract As deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely adopted, the complexity of CNNs is rapidly increasing due to the growing demand for CNN accelerator system-on-chip (SoC). Although conventional CNN accelerators can reduce the computational time of learning and inference tasks, they tend to occupy large chip areas due to many multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operators when implemented in complex digital circuits, incurring excessive power consumption. To overcome these drawbacks, this work implements an analog convolutional filter consisting of an analog multiply-and-accumulate arithmetic circuit along with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This paper introduces the… More >
