Abstract: A power MOSFET device includes a semiconductor body having a first main surface. The semiconductor body includes an active area facing the first main surface. The power MOSFET device includes an isolated-gate structure, which extends over the active area and includes a gate-oxide layer, which is made of insulating material and extends over the first main surface, and a gate region buried in the gate-oxide layer so as to be electrically insulated from the semiconductor body. The gate region includes a gate layer of polysilicon and at least one first silicide electrical-modulation region and one second silicide electrical-modulation region, which extend in the gate layer so as to face a top surface of the gate layer and to be arranged alongside one another and spaced apart from one another in a first plane.

Abstract: A convolutional accelerator includes a feature line buffer, a kernel buffer, a multiply-accumulate cluster, and iteration control circuitry. The convolutional accelerator, in operation, convolves a kernel with a streaming feature data tensor. The convolving includes decomposing the kernel into a plurality of sub-kernels and iteratively convolving the sub-kernels with respective sub-tensors of the streamed feature data tensor. The iteration control circuitry, in operation, defines respective windows of the streamed feature data tensors, the windows corresponding to the sub-tensors.

Abstract: A power MOSFET device includes an active area accommodating a first body region and a second body region having a first and, respectively, a second conductivity value. The second value is higher than the first value. A first channel region is disposed in the first body region between a first source region and a drain region, and the first channel region has and having a first channel length. A second channel region is disposed in the second body region between a second source region and the drain region, and the second channel region has and having a second channel length smaller than the first channel length. A first device portion, having a first threshold voltage, includes the first channel region, and a second device portion, having a second threshold voltage higher than the first threshold voltage, includes the second channel region.

Abstract: A convolutional accelerator includes a feature line buffer, a kernel buffer, a multiply-accumulate cluster, and mode control circuitry. In a first mode of operation, the mode control circuitry stores feature data in a feature line buffer and stores kernel data in a kernel buffer. The data stored in the buffers is transferred to the MAC cluster of the convolutional accelerator for processing. In a second mode of operation the mode control circuitry stores feature data in the kernel buffer and stores kernel data in the feature line buffer. The data stored in the buffers is transferred to the MAC cluster of the convolutional accelerator for processing. The second mode of operation may be employed to efficiently process 1×N kernels, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Abstract: An audio device includes a gain step selection circuit that receives a different requested gain value and an associated requested step size from each of a plurality of sources, compares each requested gain value to a same feedback gain value and generates a polarity based thereupon, performs step polarization on each requested step size as a function of the generated polarity therefor to thereby generate a plurality of step values, and outputs a least of the plurality of step values as an output step value. An accumulator circuit generates a current input gain value based upon the output step value and the feedback gain value, and then updates the feedback gain value to be equal to the current input gain value. A normalizing circuit multiplies an input data value by the current input gain value and applies a truncation function to a result thereof to produce an output data value.

Abstract: A method of driving an electrical load includes coupling a power supply source to a power supply pin of a driver circuit, and coupling an electrical load to at least one output pin of the driver circuit. A driver sub-circuit of the driver circuit produces at least one driving signal for driving the electrical load. The at least one driving signal is provided to the electrical load via the at least one output pin. The at least one driving signal is modulated to supply the electrical load with a load current and to subsequently interrupt the load current. A compensation current pulse is sunk from the power supply pin, at a compensation circuit of the driver circuit, in response to the load current being interrupted.
