Abstract: An in-memory compute (IMC) device includes an array of memory cells and control logic coupled to the array of memory cells. The array of memory cells is arranged as a plurality of rows of cells intersecting a plurality of columns of cells. The array of memory cells includes a first subset of memory cells forming a plurality of computational engines at intersections of rows and columns of the first subset of the array of memory cells. The array also includes a second subset of memory cells forming a plurality of bias engines. The control logic, in operation, generates control signals to control the array of memory cells to perform a plurality of IMC operations using the computational engines, store results of the plurality of IMC operations in memory cells of the array, and computationally combine results of the plurality of IMC operations with respective bias values using the bias engines.

Abstract: According to principles as discussed herein, an EEPROM cell is provided and then, after testing the code, using the exact same architecture, transistors, memory cells, and layout, the EEPROM cell is converted to a read-only memory (“ROM”) cell. This conversion is done on the very same integrated circuit die using the same layout, design, and timing with only a single change in an upper level mask in the memory array. In one embodiment, the mask change is the via mask connecting metal 1 to poly. This allows the flexibility to store the programming code as non-volatile memory code, and then after it has been tested, at time selected by the customer, some or all of that code from a code that can be written to a read-only code that is stored in a ROM cell that is composed the same transistors and having the same layout.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a pulse width modulator. The pulse width modulator includes a multiplexer that receives a plurality of data delay signals. Each of the data delay signals is based on a data signal and a respective clock phase signal. The multiplexer includes a first multiplexer stage and a second multiplexer stage. The first multiplexer stage receives all of the data delay signals and has a relatively large delay. The second multiplexer stage receives to output signals from the first multiplexer stage and has a relatively small delay. The second multiplexer stage outputs a pulse width modulation signal that can have a pulse width corresponding to the offset between two adjacent clock phase signals.

Abstract: A read signal generator generates read signals to control read operations of a memory array. The read signal generator can be selectively controlled to generate an oscillating signal having a period that corresponds to a feature one of the read signals. The oscillating signal is passed to a frequency divider that divides the oscillating signal and provides the divided oscillating signal to an output pad. The frequency of the oscillating signal can be measured at the output pad. The frequency of the oscillating signal, and the duration of the read signal feature can be calculated from the frequency of the oscillating signal. The read signal feature can then be adjusted if needed.

Abstract: A voltage supply circuit and a method for controlling a voltage supply circuit are provided. The voltage supply circuit includes a positive charge pump stage that generates a positive voltage and a negative charge pump stage that generates a negative voltage. The voltage supply circuit also includes a control stage that compares a voltage representative of the negative voltage with a reference voltage and causes a slope of the positive voltage to decrease when the voltage representative of the negative voltage exceeds the reference voltage.

Abstract: According to one aspect, an integrated circuit includes a power amplifier having a succession of at least two amplifier stages. The two amplifier stages include a first amplifier stage configured to receive a radio frequency signal as input and a last amplifier stage configured to deliver as an output of an amplified radio frequency signal. The power amplifier further includes a safety circuit with a control circuit configured to compare the amplified radio frequency signal voltage with a threshold voltage. The safety circuit further comprises a gain reduction circuit configured to reduce a bias voltage of an upstream amplifier stage of the last amplifier stage when the amplified radio frequency signal voltage is greater than the threshold voltage.

Abstract: A data weighted averaging (DWA) data word in a standard or normal form unary code format is first converted to a thermometer control word in an alternative or spatial form unary code format. The thermometer control word is then converted from the alternative or spatial form unary code format to output a corresponding binary word.
