Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of reducing power consumption is provided. A group controller detects a zero weight parameter having a zero value among “n×m” weight parameters to be transferred to a weight parameter buffer. Then, when receiving the zero weight parameter as its input, the group controller exchanges the “n×m” weight parameters to be transferred to the weight parameter buffer so that all multiplication results of the “n” multipliers included in a target multiplier group that is one of the “m” multiplier groups are zero. The group controller controls the target multiplier group to be disabled, and exchanges the “n×m” pixel data to be transferred to the data input buffer, based on the exchange of the “n×m” weight parameters.

Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of preventing a sharp variation in current consumption in neural network processing is provided. A dummy circuit outputs dummy data to at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits and causes the at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits to perform a dummy calculation and to output dummy output data. An output-side DMA controller transfers pieces of normal output data from the n number of MAC circuits to a memory, by use of n number of channels, respectively, and does not transfer the dummy output data to the memory. In this semiconductor device, the at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits perform the dummy calculation in a period from a timing at which the output-side DMA controller ends data transfer to the memory to a timing at which the input-side DMA controller starts data transfer from the memory.

Abstract: The semiconductor device includes an image signal processor, a scaler, and an ROI (Region of Interest) controller. The image signal processor executes image processing including demosaic processing and stores the image after the image processing in memory. The scaler reduces the capture image from the image sensor to generate a reduced entire image and causes the image signal processor to execute image processing on the reduced entire image. The ROI controller cuts out a partial region of the captured image from the image sensor to generate an ROI image and causes the image signal processor to execute image processing on the ROI image.
