    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a neuron for an artificial neural network. The neuron comprises a dot product engine operative to: receive a set of weights; receive a set of data inputs based on a set of input data signals; and calculate the dot product of the set of data inputs and the set of weights to generate a dot product engine output. The neuron further comprises an activation function module arranged to apply an activation function to a signal indicative of the dot product engine output to generate a neuron output; and gain control circuitry. The gain control circuitry is operative to control: an input gain applied to the input data signals to generate the set of data inputs; and an output gain applied to the dot product engine output or by the activation function module. The output gain is selected to compensate for the applied input gain.

    摘要: A delta-sigma modulator may include a loop filter, a quantizer, an input gain element having a programmable input gain and coupled between an input of the delta-sigma modulator and an input of the loop filter, a feedforward gain element having a programmable feedforward gain and coupled between the input of the delta-sigma modulator and an output of the loop filter, and a quantizer gain element having a quantizer gain and coupled between the output of the loop filter and an input of the quantizer. The programmable input gain is controlled in order to control a variable gain of the delta-sigma modulator. The programmable feedforward gain is controlled to be equal to the ratio of the programmable input gain and the quantizer gain such that the delta-sigma modulator has a fixed phase response.

    摘要: Circuitry for biasing a sensor comprises a bias generator module configured to receive a supply voltage and to generate a bias voltage for biasing the sensor. The circuitry further comprises a control module configured to compare a voltage indicative of the supply voltage to a threshold voltage and to output a control signal to the bias generator module based on the comparison. The bias generator module is configured to control the bias voltage based on the control signal.

    摘要: This application relates to ADC circuitry. An ADC circuit (200) has first and second conversion paths (201a, 201b) for converting analogue signals to digital and is operable in first and second modes. In the first mode, the first and second conversion paths are connected to respective first and second input nodes (202a, 202b) to receive and convert full scale first and second analogue input signals (Ain1, Ain2) to separate digital outputs (Dout1, Dout2). In the second mode, the first and second conversion paths are both connected to the first input node (202a), to convert the first analogue input signal (Ain1) to respective first and second digital signals, and the first and second conversion paths are configured for processing different signal levels of the first analogue input signal. A selector (207) select the first digital signal or the second digital to be output as an output signal based on an indication of amplitude of the first analogue input signal.

    摘要: An information handling system may include a processor and a storage subsystem. The storage subsystem may include a non-expander backplane, a first plurality of storage resources coupled to the processor via the non-expander backplane, and a second plurality of storage resources coupled to the processor via a communication path that does not include the non-expander backplane. The information handling system may be configured to provide slot numbers for the storage resources according to a numbering scheme in which a storage resource from the first plurality of storage resources and a storage resource from the second plurality of storage resources have the same slot number.

    摘要: This application describes time-encoding modulator circuitry (200), and in particular a PWM modulator suitable for use for a class-D amplifier. A forward signal path receives a digital input signal (Din) and outputs an output PWM signal (Sout) and includes a first PWM modulator (101). A feedback path provides feedback to an input of the first PWM modulator (101). The feedback path includes an ADC (203) which receive a first PWM signal (Sa) derived from the output PWM signal. The ADC (203) includes a second PWM modulator (401) which generates a second PWM signal (Sb) based on the first PWM signal. A controller (201) controls the second PWM modulator such that a PWM carrier of the second PWM signal is phase and frequency matched to a PWM carrier of the output PWM signal.
