Abstract:
A mixed-signal logic processor is provided. The mixed-signal logic processor includes a plurality of mixed-signal multiplier branches. Each of the plurality of mixed-signal multiplier branches has a set of branch-dedicated switches and a single branch-dedicated capacitor. The mixed-signal logic further includes a common switch. The common switch is external and common to each of the plurality of mixed-signal multiplier branches. The mixed-signal logic also includes a first shared branch-external capacitor and a second shared branch-external capacitor. The first and the second shared branch-external capacitors are external to and shared by each of the plurality of mixed-signal multiplier branches. Various settings of the set of switches and the common switch enable various modes of the mixed-signal dot product processor.
