摘要: A scan chain architecture with lowered power consumption comprises a multiplexer selecting between a functional input and a test input. The output of the multiplexer is coupled to a low threshold voltage latch and, in test mode, to a standard threshold voltage latch. The low threshold voltage latch and standard threshold voltage latch are configured to store data when a clock input falls, using a master latch functional clock M_F_CLK, master latch test clock M_T_CLK, slave latch functional clock S_F_CLK, and slave latch test clock S_T_CLK. The slave latch has lower power consumption than the master latch.

摘要: A static random access memory (SRAM) has one or more arrays of memory cells, each array of memory cells activated in columns by a wordline. The activated column of memory cells asserts output data onto a plurality of bitlines coupled to output drivers. The SRAM includes a wordline controller generating a variable wordline signal pulse width which may be reduced sufficiently to introduce memory read errors. Each of a high error rate, medium error rate, low error rate, and a nearly error-free rate is associated with a pulse width value generated by the wordline controller. A power consumption tradeoff exists between the wordline signal pulse width and consumed SRAM power. The wordline controller is thereby able to associate a wordline signal pulse width with an associated error rate for performing tasks which are insensitive to a high error rate or a medium error rate, which are specific to certain neural network training and inference using various NN data types.

摘要: A memory performing logic functions has two single transistor static ram memory (STSRAM) with drain, source, and gate terminal which can be written, read, and when read, generates an output current. The STSRAMs have drain and source connected in parallel, and when read, generate a current provided to a current comparator amplifier (CCA) which is compared to a reference current Iref to generate an output which is at least one of a logical AND, logical NAND, logical OR, logical NOR, or logical exclusive OR (XOR).
