We present a fully digital multiply and accumulate (MAC) in-memory computing (IMC) macro demonstrating one of the fastest flexible precision integer-based MACs to date. The design boasts a new bit-parallel architecture enabled by a 10T bit-cell capable of four AND operations and a decomposed precision data flow that decreases the number of shift–accumulate operations, bringing down the overall adder hardware cost by 1.57× while maintaining 100% utilization for all supported precision. It also employs a carry save adder tree that saves 21% of adder hardware. The 28-nm prototype chip achieves a speed-up of 2.6× , 10.8× , 2.42× , and 3.22× over prior SoTA in 1bW:1bI, 1bW:4bI, 4bW:4bI, and 8bW:8bI MACs, respectively.more » « less
