Abstract: A multiply-accumulate operation device, circuit and method are disclosed. In on example, a multiply-accumulate operation device includes input lines, multiplication units, an accumulation unit, a charging unit, and an output unit. Pulse signals having pulse widths corresponding to input values are input to the input lines. The multiplication units generate, based on the pulse signals, charges corresponding to multiplication values obtained by multiplying the input values by weight values. The accumulation unit accumulates a sum of the charges corresponding to the multiplication values. The charging unit charges the accumulation unit at a charging speed associated with its accumulation state. The output unit outputs a multiply-accumulate signal representing a sum of the multiplication values by executing threshold determination using a threshold value associated with the accumulation state of the accumulation unit on a voltage held by the accumulation unit after the charging by the charging unit is started.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for memory initiated calibration. The memory includes a termination circuit with a tunable resistor and a calibration detection circuit with a replica tunable resistor. The calibration detection circuit measures a resistance of the replica tunable resistor and provides a calibration request signal if the resistance is outside a tolerance. Responsive to the calibration request signal, a controller of the memory schedules the memory for a calibration operation.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided; the semiconductor device includes unipolar transistors. A steady-state current does not flow in the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device uses a high-level potential and a low-level potential to express a high level and a low level, respectively. The semiconductor device includes unipolar transistors, a capacitor, first and second input terminals, and an output terminal. To the second input terminal, a signal is input whose logic is inverted from the logic of a signal input to the first input terminal. The semiconductor device has a circuit structure called bootstrap in which two unipolar transistors are connected in series between the high-level potential and the low-level potential and a capacitor is provided between an output terminal and a gate of one of the two transistors. A delay is caused between the gate of the transistor and the signal output from the output terminal, whereby the bootstrap can be certainly performed.

Abstract: Asynchronous circuits implemented using threshold gate(s) and/or majority gate(s) (or minority gate(s)) are described. The new class of asynchronous circuits can operate at lower power supply levels (e.g., less than 1V on advanced technology nodes) because stack of devices between a supply node and ground are significantly reduced compared to traditional asynchronous circuits. The asynchronous circuits here result in area reduction (e.g., 3× reduction compared to traditional asynchronous circuits) and provide higher throughput/mm2 (e.g., 2× higher throughput compared to traditional asynchronous circuits). The threshold gate(s), majority/minority gate(s) can be implemented using capacitive input circuits. The capacitors can have linear dielectric or non-linear polar material as dielectric.

Abstract: A Controller Area Network (CAN) transceiver determines a voltage differential signal from analog signaling and provides a digital output signal at a receiver output to a CAN controller based on the voltage differential signal. The analog signaling received from the CAN bus can operate with a first voltage level scheme of a first CAN protocol and a second voltage level scheme for a second CAN protocol. A first comparator compares the voltage differential signal to a first threshold which is set to a value which differentiates between a logic low bit and logic high bit in accordance with the second CAN protocol. Filtering circuitry selectively filters an output of the first comparator based on detection of noise on the CAN bus to provide a first digital signal indicative of activity on the CAN bus according to the second CAN protocol.

Abstract: A potential generating circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor. Potential at a substrate of the first transistor varies with a first parameter. The first parameter is any one of a supply voltage, an operating temperature, as well as a manufacturing process of the potential generating circuit. Potential at a substrate of the second transistor varies with the first parameter. A gate of the first transistor is connected to a drain of the first transistor. The substrate of the first transistor serves as a first output of the potential generating circuit. A gate of the second transistor is connected to a drain of the second transistor. The substrate of the second transistor serves as a second output of the potential generating circuit.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a clock step control circuit and a method thereof. The clock step control circuit includes a clock divider, a multiplexer, and a controller. The clock divider receives a first clock signal and outputs multiple second clock signals. The multiplexer receives the second clock signals and outputs one of the second clock signals. The controller is coupled to the clock divider and the multiplexer. When the controller receives an interrupt signal, the controller outputs a selection signal to the multiplexer according to the interrupt signal. The multiplexer outputs another one of the second clock signals according to the selection signal. The clock step control circuit and the method thereof in the disclosure can appropriately switch the clock signal to output a clock signal with an appropriate clock frequency.
