  • Patent number: 11967393
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a clock gating circuit and a control circuit. The clock gating circuit outputs a gated clock signal based on a clock signal. Transitions of the clock signal are output in the gated clock signal in response to a clock enable signal having an enable value and are disabled from being output in the gated clock signal in response to the clock enable signal having a disable value. The control circuit includes a first portion that operates based on the clock signal. The first portion sets the clock enable signal to the disable value in response to a disable control and sets the clock enable signal to the enable value in response to a wakeup control. The control circuit includes a second portion that operates based on the gated clock signal. The second portion provides the disable control to the first portion during an operation.

  • Patent number: 11967377
    Abstract: A content addressable memory (CAM) device includes multiple CAM sub-banks Each CAM sub-bank includes an array of CAM cells arranged in rows and columns and partitioned into a first stage and a second stage along a column dimension. Each CAM sub-bank further includes first-stage match lines (MLs), first-stage search line (SL) pairs, second-stage MLs, and second-stage SL pairs. Each second-stage SL pair is coupled to a column of CAM cells in the second stage and is gated by an SL enable (SL_EN signal). Each CAM sub-bank further includes a circuit operative to receive all of the first-stage MLs as input and de-assert the SL_EN signal when none of the first-stage MLs indicate a match. De-assertion of the SL_EN signal blocks a second portion search key from being provided to the second-stage SL pairs.

  • Patent number: 11960438
    Abstract: A stacked processor-plus-memory device includes a processing die with an array of processing elements of an artificial neural network. Each processing element multiplies a first operand—e.g. a weight—by a second operand to produce a partial result to a subsequent processing element. To prepare for these computations, a sequencer loads the weights into the processing elements as a sequence of operands that step through the processing elements, each operand stored in the corresponding processing element. The operands can be sequenced directly from memory to the processing elements or can be stored first in cache. The processing elements include streaming logic that disregards interruptions in the stream of operands.
