    摘要: An approach to converting an analog value based on a partition of an input range produces probabilities that the input is found within each of the regions based, for example, on a noisy version of the input. In some examples, iterative and/or pipelined application of comparison circuitry is used to accumulate a set of analog representations of the output probabilities. The circuitry can be adapted or configured according to the characteristics of the degradation (e.g., according to the variance of an additive noise) and/or prior information about the distribution of the clean input (e.g., a distribution over a discrete set of exemplar values, uniformly distributed etc.).

    摘要: A processor implements a network of functional nodes and communication paths between the nodes. The processor includes a plurality of circuit implementations of the functional nodes of the processor; and a plurality of signal paths implementing the communication paths linking the circuit implementations of the nodes. At least some of the signal paths are configured to pass signal values represented according to temporal patterns of signal levels on the signal paths. The processor also includes a plurality of circuit components for conversion between a signal value represented as a signal level (e.g., voltage or current level) and a signal value represented as a temporal pattern.

    摘要: A storage device includes a storage array having a group of storage elements. Each storage element can written to a discrete set of physical states. A read circuit selects one or more storage elements and generates, for each selected storage element, an analog signal representative of the physical state of the selected storage element. A signal processing circuit processes the analog signal to generate a plurality of outputs, with each output representing a degree of an association of the selected storage element with a different subset of one or more of the discrete set of physical states.

    摘要: A circuit includes a signal processing circuit for accepting an input and for generating a set of outputs. The input is provided in an input range that has a set of representative values, and each output represents a measure of an association of the input with one or more of the representative values. The signal processing circuit includes a group of output sections, each output section being responsive to the input of the signal processing circuit. Each output section includes one or more sigmoid generators. Each sigmoid generator is responsive to an input of the output section to generate an output that represents a sigmoid function of the input of the output section. Each output section also includes a circuitry for combining the outputs of the one or more sigmoid generators to form one of the set of outputs of the signal processing circuit. An input transformation circuit is coupled to the plurality of output sections. The input transformation circuit is configurable to transform the input of the signal processing circuit for controlling a mapping characteristic from the input to the set of outputs.
