An XNOR gate is the most commonly used multiplier in bipolar encoded stochastic deep
neural networks, but it is not suitable due to the inaccuracy in processing near-zero values.
In this paper, we introduce a novel circuit that multiplies near-zero values more accurately
and assess its performance with MNIST and CIFAR-10. For the CIFAR-10 dataset, the use of
the proposed multipliers gives accuracy of 60.59%, improving by 11.64% p over the XNOR
multiplier implementation.
