摘要:
A power control manager includes a processor to compute available power from a power source and a comparator to compare the available power to an amount of power to concurrently operate a plurality of sub-systems of an electronic device at full or a predetermined power. The processor generates one or more control signals in response to a decision signal output from the comparator. The control signals may indicate that a maximum power setting is to be set for a first sub-system and a reduced non-zero power setting is to be set for a second sub-system of the plurality of sub-systems. The sub-systems may be different sub-systems of a smartphone or another electronic device.

Reverse bias leakage testing may be used to determine the health of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). When VCSELs are integrated on a die with other electronic devices such testing may damage the other electronic devices or be prohibited by circuits on the die designed to protect the electronics from being reverse biased. Accordingly, reverse bias testing may be facilitated by providing a second ground pad, separate from the die ground pad, specific to the VCSEL.

An DNN accelerator includes a DMA engine that can rearrange weight data layout. The DMA engine may read a weight tensor from a memory (e.g., DRAM). The weight tensor includes weights arranged in a 3D matrix. The DMA engine may partition the weight tensor into a plurality of virtual banks based on a structure of a PE array, e.g., based on the number of activated PE columns in the PE array. Then the DMA engine may partition a virtual bank into a plurality of virtual sub-banks. The DMA engine may also identify data blocks from different ones of the plurality of virtual sub-banks. A data block may include a plurality of input channels and may have a predetermined spatial size and storage size. The DMA engine form a linear data structure by interleaving the data blocks. The DMA engine can write the linear data structure into another memory (e.g., SRAM).

A circuit package includes a circuit substrate having a cutout portion defined therein, an interconnect electrically coupled to the circuit substrate and an active circuit component disposed off the circuit substrate within the cutout portion and electrically coupled to the interconnect. An optical circuit includes a lead frame and an optical component electrically coupled to the lead frame. The lead frame includes a first lead portion at a first level having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a second lead portion at a second level lower than the first level and electrically connected to the first lead portion. The lower surface of the first lead portion is arranged to electrically connect to a surface of a circuit substrate. The second lead portion includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The optical component is disposed on the upper surface of the second lead portion.
