    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Described herein is a method including measuring a current in a wire, normalizing the measured current, and comparing the normalized measured current to a control curve. The control curve is a function of a series of normalized current magnitudes and reaction times for corresponding ones of that series of normalized current magnitudes. The method further includes limiting the current in the wire based upon the comparison. The reaction times for ones of the series of normalized current magnitudes are times at which current limitation would occur if the normalized current remained at an associated normalized current magnitude.
