    Abstract: A compute-in-memory bitcell is provided that includes a pair of cross-coupled inverter for storing a stored bit. The compute-in-memory bitcell includes a logic gate for multiplying the stored bit with an input vector bit. An output node for the logic gate connects to a second plate of a positive capacitor. A first plate of the positive capacitor connects to a positive read bit line. An inverter inverts a voltage of the second plate of the positive capacitor to drive a first plate of a negative capacitor having a second plate connected to a negative read bit line.

    Abstract: Techniques for sensing the resistance of a load. In an aspect, a sense resistor is provided in series with the load. Each terminal of the sense resistor is alternately coupled via switches to a sense amplifier. A second input of the sense resistor is coupled to a terminal of the load. The voltage drop across the load and the voltage drop across the load plus sense resistor are alternatively measured. These voltage drops may be digitized and used to compute a resistance of the load using, e.g., a digital processor.

    Abstract: An apparatus for sharing a serial communication port between a plurality of communication channels is described. The apparatus comprises a transceiver that manages communications over the serial communication port. The apparatus also includes a multiplexer coupled to the transceiver, wherein the multiplexer multiplexes the plurality of communication channels. The apparatus also includes identification information circuitry coupled to the multiplexer, wherein the identification information circuitry adds identification information to data from the plurality of communication channels that enables the plurality of communication channels to share the serial communication port. The serial communications port and the multiplexer permit communication between integrated circuits that meet at least one latency metric for the plurality of communication channels when the plurality of communication channels are active.
