Abstract :
In this paper, a multiple-valued DRAM is proposed. Error correction has been used to increase the noise margin of the system. The refresh system is based on series configuration of A/D and D/A converters for each data line. The A/D converters are based on a modular reduction operation, which provides an area efficient design. This memory cell can be used in hardware implementation of multiple valued neural networks.
