Semiconductor cell for performing a logic xnor or xor operation

A semiconductor cell (100, 400) for performing a logic XNOR or XOR operation, the semiconductor cell (100, 400) comprising a memory unit (101, 401) for storing a first operand, an input port unit (102, 402) for receiving a second operand, a switch unit (103 403) configured for implementing the logic XNOR or XOR operation on the stored first operand and the received second operand, and a readout port (104, 404) for providing an output of the logic operation. A plurality of cells may be organized in an array, and one or more of such arrays may be used for implementing a neural network.
