Abstract:
An embodiment circuit comprises a set of input terminals configured to receive input digital signals which carry input data, a set of output terminals configured to provide output digital signals which carry output data, and computing circuitry configured to produce the output data as a function of the input data. The computing circuitry comprises a set of multiplier circuits, a set of adder-subtractor circuits, a set of accumulator circuits, and a configurable interconnect network. The configurable interconnect network is configured to selectively couple the multiplier circuits, the adder-subtractor circuits, the accumulator circuits, the input terminals and the output terminals in at least two processing configurations. In a first configuration, the computing circuitry is configured to compute the output data according to a first set of functions, and, in a second configuration, the computing circuitry is configured to compute the output data according to a different set of functions.
