    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to circuitry having a bitcell array with bitcells arranged in columns and rows. The circuitry includes bitlines coupled to the columns of the bitcells and wordlines coupled to the rows of the bitcells. The bitcells are arranged in multiple groups of bitcells along corresponding wordlines in each row, and each group of bitcells in each row is configured to be shifted by at least one column with respect to another group of bitcells in a previous row.

    Abstract: A method for accessing two memory locations in two different memory arrays based on a single address string includes determining three sets of address bits. A first set of address bits are common to the addresses of wordlines that correspond to the memory locations in the two memory arrays. A second set of address bits concatenated with the first set of address bits provides the address of the wordline that corresponds to a first memory location in a first memory array. A third set of address bits concatenated with the first set of address bits provides the address of the wordline that corresponds to a second memory location in a second memory array. The method includes populating the single address string with the three sets of address bits and may be performed by an address data processing unit.

    Abstract: A compressor includes a logic circuit having transistors of a first channel type to receive a plurality of bit signals, and transistors of a second channel type, different from the first channel type, to receive the plurality of bit signals. The transistors of the first channel type are configured to generate an XOR logic output based on the plurality of bit signals, and the transistors of the second channel type are configured to generate, substantially simultaneous with the generation of the XOR logic output, an XNOR logic output based on the plurality of bit signals. The compressor includes NAND gates to receive multiplicand and multiplier bit signals.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit for implementing low power input gating. In one implementation, the integrated circuit may include a chip enable device configured to receive and use a clock input signal to toggle a control input of memory based on a chip enable signal. The integrated circuit may include a latch device configured to latch the control input of the memory. The integrated circuit may include a latch enable device coupled between the chip enable device and the latch device. The latch enable device may be configured to receive the clock input signal from the chip enable device and use the clock input signal to gate the latch device based on a latch enable signal so as to selectively cutoff toggling of the clock input signal to the control input of the memory.
