  • Patent number: 11735521
    Abstract: Embodiments herein may describe techniques for an integrated circuit including a MOSFET having a source area, a channel area, a gate electrode, and a drain area. The channel area may include a first channel region with a dopant of a first concentration next to the source area, and a second channel region with the dopant of a second concentration higher than the first concentration next to the drain area. A source electrode may be in contact with the source area, a gate oxide layer above the channel area, and the gate electrode above the gate oxide layer. A first resistance exists between the source electrode and the gate electrode. A second resistance exists between the source electrode, the gate electrode, and a path through the gate oxide layer to couple the source electrode and the gate electrode after a programming operation is performed. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20220253285
    Abstract: An analog multiplication circuit includes switched capacitors to multiply digital operands in an analog representation and output a digital result with an analog-to-digital convertor. The capacitors are arranged with a capacitance according to the respective value of the digital bit inputs. To perform the multiplication, the capacitors are selectively charged according to the first operand of the multiplication. The capacitors are then connected to a common interconnect for charge sharing across the capacitors, averaging the charge according to the charge determined by the first operand. The capacitor are then maintained or discharged according to a second operand, such that the remaining charge represents a number of “copies” of the averaged charge. The capacitors are then averaged and output for conversion by an analog-to-digital convertor. This circuit may be repeated to construct a multiply-and-accumulate circuit by combining charges from several such multiplication circuits.

  • Publication number: 20210098059
    Abstract: Systems and methods for precision writing of weight values to a memory capable of storing multiple levels in each cell are disclosed. Embodiments include logic to compare an electrical parameter read from a memory cell with a base reference and an interval reference, and stop writing once the electrical parameter is between the base reference and the base plus the interval reference. The interval may be determined using a greater number of levels than the number of stored levels, to prevent possible overlap of read values of the electrical parameter due to memory device variations.

  • Publication number: 20190244062
    Abstract: A performing device of a gesture recognition system executes a performing procedure of a gesture recognition method. The performing procedure includes steps of: receiving a sensing signal; selecting one of sensing frames of the sensing signal; determining a soft label of the selected sensing frame; classifying a gesture event when the soft label of the selected sensing frame is approved. The gesture event is classified to determine the motion of the user. Therefore, the gesture recognition system does not need a predetermined time period to recognize the motion of the user. The time period for recognizing the motion of the user can be dynamical. A total time period for classifying a plurality of motions can be decreased, and the performance of the gesture recognition system can be improved.
