Abstract: Front-end circuitry for a data receiver and related systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. The front-end circuitry includes a passive equalizer, which includes a signal input, an equalizer output including a first equalizer output and a second equalizer output, a first signal path, and a second signal path. The first signal path is between the signal input and the first equalizer output. The first signal path has a first frequency response. The second signal path is between the signal input and the second equalizer output. The second signal path has a second frequency response. The second frequency response exhibits substantially inverse behavior to that of the first frequency response. An amplifier circuit is configured to combine a first equalizer output signal from the first equalizer output with a second equalizer output signal from the second equalizer output to obtain an equalized output signal.

Abstract: A system and method for improved evaluation of semiconductor hardware is provided. The system comprises a firmware repository server, which firmware repository server comprises a plurality of firmware packages for the one or more evaluation hardware boards. The firmware repository server is further configured to: receive a firmware request for a user evaluation hardware board from a first of the client devices, search the plurality of firmware packages for compatible firmware packages for the user evaluation hardware board, generate a catalog of the compatible firmware packages for the user evaluation hardware board, transmit the catalog to the first client device, receive a request for a user selected firmware package from the catalog of compatible firmware packages, and to transmit firmware of the user selected firmware package to the client device for installation on the user evaluation hardware board.

Abstract: A method for meeting quality of service (QoS) requirements in a flash controller that includes one or more instruction queues and a neural network engine. A configuration file for a QoS neural network is loaded into the neural network engine. A current command is received at the instruction queue(s). Feature values corresponding to commands in the instruction queue(s) are identified and are loaded into the neural network engine. A neural network operation of the QoS neural network is performed using as input the identified feature values to predict latency of the current command. The predicted latency is compared to a first latency threshold. When the predicted latency exceeds the first latency threshold one or more of the commands in the instruction queue(s) are modified. The commands are not modified when the predicted latency does not exceed the latency threshold. A next command in the instruction queue(s) is then performed.

Abstract: In one implementation a vector processor unit having preload registers for at least some of vector length, vector constant, vector address, and vector stride. Each preload register has an input and an output. All the preload register inputs are coupled to receive a new vector parameters. Each of the preload registers' outputs are coupled to a first input of a respective multiplexor, and the second input of all the respective multiplexors are coupled to the new vector parameters.

Abstract: System and method for synchronizing a plurality of nodes to a timing signal using a daisy-chain network having a forward transmission path and a reverse transmission path connected at a midpoint. Latency of the timing signal to the midpoint of the daisy-chain network is determined, a respective latency of the timing signal from the node to the midpoint of the daisy-chain network is determined, and a respective timing offset for each of the plurality of nodes is calculated. A local time-of-day counter at each of the plurality of nodes is adjusted based upon the respective timing offset of the node to synchronize the plurality of nodes to the timing signal.

Abstract: A ReRAM memory array includes ReRAM memory cells and a select circuit having two series-connected select transistors connected in series with a ReRAM device. When ReRAM memory cell(s) are selected for erasing, the bit line coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) to be erased is biased at a first voltage potential. The source line coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) to be erased is biased at a second voltage potential greater than the first voltage potential, the difference between the first voltage potential and the second voltage potential being sufficient to erase the ReRAM device. The gates of the series-connected select transistors coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) to be erased are supplied with positive voltage pulses. The gates of the series-connected select transistors coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) unselected for erasing are supplied with a voltage potential insufficient to turn them on.

Abstract: A circuit for correcting phase interpolator rollover integral non-linearity errors includes a rollover detector circuit for detecting when a rollover event of a phase interpolator has occurred, and a correction circuit that adds a signed predistortion correction to a VCO clock cycle phase fraction value when the rollover detector circuit has detected the interpolator rollover event.

Abstract: A method includes storing configuration files of a Multi-Core Neural Network Inference (MCNNI) model having Independent Categorized-Core-Portions (ICCP's). Each ICCP corresponds to one of a plurality of categories for each parameter. A first plurality of weighting values on each row of the weighting matrix of the MCNNI model have a nonzero value and a second plurality of weighting values on each row having a value of zero. The configuration files are loaded into a neural network engine. The operation of the integrated circuit device is monitored to identify a usage value corresponding to each of the parameters. A single neural network operation is performed using the usage values as input to generate, at the output neurons of each ICCP, output values indicating an estimation of one or more variable. The output values of the ICCP that corresponds to the input usage values are identified and are sent as output.
