Abstract:
This application relates to computing circuitry, and in particular to analogue computing circuitry suitable for neuromorphic computing. An analogue computation unit for processing data is supplied with a first voltage from a voltage regulator which is operable in a sequence of phases to cyclically regulate the first voltage. A controller is configured to control operation of the voltage regulator and/or the analogue computation unit, such that the analogue computation unit processes data during a plurality of compute periods that avoid times at which the voltage regulator undergoes a phase transition which is one of a predefined set of phase transitions between defined phases in said sequence of phases. This avoids performing computation operations during a phase transition of the voltage regulator that could result in a transient or disturbance in the first voltage, which could adversely affect the computing.
