  • Patent number: 11551745
    Abstract: A device includes a comparator to provide an indication of a difference between Vp on a first terminal coupled to a top plate of each of a first group of differential capacitors, and Vn on a second terminal coupled to a top plate of each of a second group of differential capacitors. The device includes a control circuit coupled to the comparator. The control circuit is to receive a first indication of a difference between Vp and Vn; responsive to the first indication, cause a first driver to provide a reference voltage to bottom plates of one of the first and second groups, and cause a second driver to provide a ground voltage to bottom plates of the other of the first and second groups; receive a second indication of a difference between Vp and Vn; and provide a digital value responsive to the first indication and the second indication.

  • Publication number: 20210240441
    Abstract: A device includes a bit cell having first and second terminals, a first bit line coupled to the first terminal, a second bit line coupled to the second terminal, a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a multiply and average (MAV) circuit coupled to the first capacitor, to the second capacitor, to the first bit line, and to the second bit line. The MAV circuit includes a first transistor coupled to the first capacitor and to a ground terminal and a second transistor coupled to the second capacitor and to the ground terminal. The first transistor has a first transistor control terminal selectively coupled to the first bit line and the second transistor has a second transistor control terminal selectively coupled to the second bit line.

  • Patent number: 10803927
    Abstract: A memory circuit including a plurality of elementary cells distributed in a plurality of arrays, each including N columns, N being an integer greater than or equal to 2, wherein: each column of each array includes a first local bit line directly connected to each of the cells in the column; each column of each array includes a first general bit line coupled to the first local bit line of the column by a first coupling circuit; and the first general bit lines of the columns of same rank j of the different arrays, j being an integer in the range from 0 to M?1, are coupled together.
