  • Publication number: 20240364338
    Abstract: On memory die and other circuits, some parts may operate at a VDD logic level while other elements operate at a higher logic level, such as at or near the die's supply level VSUP. To reduce power consumption and increase operating speeds, VDD levels are moving to increasingly lower voltages. To raise the logic signal from the lower level to the higher, level shifters can be used. However, as the gap between the supply level VSUP and VDD widens, it can become difficult for a level shifter to reliably raise a logic signal operating at the VDD level to the VSUP level. The address this problem, the following introduces a small charge pump to boost the input logic signals for level shifter circuits to allow them to reliably generate an output logic signal at the VSUP level from an input logic signal at low VDD levels.

  • Publication number: 20240359705
    Abstract: The navigation of an AV in an environment may be planned based on a model of a restricted traffic zone in the environment. Information of the environment (e.g., a vector map, information of one or more objects, a temporal sequence of semantic grids, a query grid, etc.) may be input into a neural network. The neural network may include a CNN and a GNN. The map and tracks may be input into the GNN. The temporal sequence of semantic grids or query grid may be input into the CNN. The neural network may output edges of the restricted traffic zone. The neural network may output a grid of points representing locations in the environment and information indicating drivability of each respective point. The neural network may output one or more polylines dividing the environment into regions and information indicating whether the AV can drive to or in each respective region.
