Abstract:
A two pin communication interface bus and control circuits are used with circuit boards, integrated circuits, or embedded cores within integrated circuits. One pin carries data bi-directionally and address and instruction information from a controller to a selected port. The other pin carries a clock signal from the controller to a target port or ports in or on the desired circuit or circuits. The bus may be used for serial access to circuits where the availability of pins on ICs or terminals on cores is minimal. The bus is used for communication, such as serial communication related to the functional operation of an IC or core design, or serial communication related to test, emulation, debug, and/or trace operations of an IC or core design.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, an in-memory-computing SRAM macro based on capacitive-coupling computing (C3) (which is referred to herein as “C3SRAM”) is provided. In some embodiments, a C3SRAM macro can support array-level fully parallel computation, multi-bit outputs, and configurable multi-bit inputs. The macro can include circuits embedded in bitcells and peripherals to perform hardware acceleration for neural networks with binarized weights and activations in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the macro utilizes analog-mixed-signal capacitive-coupling computing to evaluate the main computations of binary neural networks, binary-multiply-and-accumulate operations. Without needing to access the stored weights by individual row, the macro can assert all of its rows simultaneously and form an analog voltage at the read bitline node through capacitive voltage division, in some embodiments. With one analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per column, the macro cab realize fully parallel vector-matrix multiplication in a single cycle in accordance with some embodiments.
