Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator includes a loop filter circuit having a first input that receives an input signal and a second input that receives a feedback signal. The loop filter circuit generates a filtered signal. A quantizer circuit quantizes the integrated signal to generate an output signal. An anti-windup circuit detects instances where the integrated signal is outside an input signal input of the quantizer circuit and in response thereto generates a dead zone signal having a magnitude and sign corresponding to a difference between the filtered signal and the input signal range. The feedback signal is a sum of the output signal and the dead zone signal.

Abstract: At least one embodiment of a method of manufacturing includes forming a first polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) substrate with a sintering process by sintering one or more powdered semiconductor materials. After the first polycrystalline SiC substrate is formed utilizing the sintering process, the first polycrystalline silicon carbide SiC substrate is utilized to form a second polycrystalline SiC substrate with a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process.

As the first and second polycrystalline SiC substrates are made of the same or similar semiconductor material (e.g., SiC), a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for the first polycrystalline SiC substrate is the same or similar to the second CTE of the second polycrystalline SiC substrate.

Abstract: A neural network is able to reconfigure hardware accelerators on-the-fly without stopping downstream hardware accelerators. The neural network inserts a reconfiguration tag into the stream of feature data. If the reconfiguration tag matches an identification of a hardware accelerator, a reconfiguration process is initiated. Upstream hardware accelerators are paused while downstream hardware accelerators continue to operate. An epoch controller reconfigures the hardware accelerator via a bus. Normal operation of the neural network then resumes.

Abstract: A method is for synchronizing power consumption data with trace data in a microcontroller debugging system. The method involves periodically sending synchronization requests from a host device to a synchronization manager within a debug probe. The synchronization manager retrieves the current power acquisition cycle number from a power acquisition circuit in response to each request, corresponding to a current sample of microcontroller power consumption. Each synchronization request, along with the retrieved cycle number, is sent to a protocol manager, which transmits the request to a microcontroller's debug-port. Upon receiving acknowledgment from the microcontroller, the protocol manager communicates these to the synchronization manager. The synchronization manager measures the latency between sending each synchronization request and receiving its acknowledgment, which is indicative of synchronization quality.
