    Abstract: Various embodiments include devices and methods for a multi-bit multiplier-accumulator (MAC). Some embodiments may include an analog adder having a first adder capacitor. The first adder capacitor may add a plurality of single-bit MAC outputs by receiving the plurality of single-bit MAC outputs from a plurality of single-bit MACs, and storing the plurality of single-bit MAC outputs. In some embodiments, the analog adder may output a multi-bit MAC output based on addition of the stored plurality of single-bit MAC outputs.

    Abstract: Techniques for sensing the resistance of a load. In an aspect, a sense resistor is provided in series with the load. Each terminal of the sense resistor is alternately coupled via switches to a sense amplifier. A second input of the sense resistor is coupled to a terminal of the load. The voltage drop across the load and the voltage drop across the load plus sense resistor are alternatively measured. These voltage drops may be digitized and used to compute a resistance of the load using, e.g., a digital processor.
