    摘要: A circuit includes a first transistor having first and second current terminals and a first control input, and a second transistor having third and fourth current terminals and a second control input. The third current terminal is connected to the second current terminal at an intermediate node and the fourth current terminal connected to a ground or supply node. In some cases, a third transistor is connected to the intermediate node to bias the intermediate rather than letting the intermediate node float. In other cases, a capacitor is connected to the intermediate node to reduce a negative voltage that might otherwise be present on the intermediate node.

    摘要: A method, implemented in a serializer for quarter rate serialization, is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of in-phase and quarter-phase clock signals defining a quarter phase clock. The method includes receiving a quarter rate data input and sequentially outputting data in accordance with the quarter phase clock. The method includes receiving at least one data input from amongst the quarter rate input and outputting a first logical output in accordance with the in-phase clock signal and the quarter-phase clock signal. The method includes receiving said at least one data input and outputting a second logical output in accordance a complementary in-phase clock signal and a complementary quarter-phase clock signal. The method includes outputting, an output associated with the branch.

    摘要: An architecture for a multiplier-accumulator (MAC) uses a common Unit Element (UE) for each aspect of operation, the MAC formed as a plurality of MAC UEs, a plurality of Bias UEs, and a plurality of Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) UEs which collectively perform a scalable MAC operation and generate a binary result. Each MAC UE, BIAS UE and ADC UE comprises groups of NAND gates with complementary outputs arranged in NAND-groups, each NAND gate coupled to a differential charge transfer bus through a binary weighted charge transfer capacitor to form an analog multiplication product as a charge applied to the differential charge transfer bus. The analog charge transfer bus is coupled to groups of ADC UEs with an ADC controller which enables and disables the ADC UEs using successive approximation to determine the accumulated multiplication result.

    摘要: A fixed binary adder adds an “N”-bit second operand to a first operand having an “N”-bit fixed value (N=2M, M is a natural number) to generate “N+1”-bit output data. The fixed binary adder includes a plurality of transfer logic stages each configured with at least one logic gate, and a summation addition logic configured to generate the “N+1”-bit output data by using the “N”-bit second operand and transfer data that is generated through the plurality of transfer logic stages. The logic gate is configured with one of an AND gate, an OR gate, and a buffer gate.
