Temperature Compensation Circuit and Method for Neural Network Computing-in-memory Array

The disclosure discloses a temperature compensation circuit and method for a neural network computing-in-memory array. Reference arrays sparsely inserted in the computing-in-memory array are adopted to provide a reference voltage for ADCs, so that an input voltage and a reference voltage of the ADCs have a same temperature coefficient. Finally, after analog-to-digital conversion by the ADC, the digital output of the ADC is not affected by the external temperature, thereby ensuring the operational precision of the neural network. According to the temperature compensation circuit of the disclosure, the reference arrays have the same structure as the computing-in-memory array. The insertion density of the reference arrays is related to the temperature field where the computing-in-memory arrays are located. One reference array may provide the reference voltage of the ADC for a plurality of computing-in-memory arrays, thereby minimizing the increase of area and power consumption caused by inserting the reference arrays.
