  • Patent number: 11967357
    Abstract: A memory unit with time domain edge delay accumulation for computing-in-memory applications is controlled by a first word line and a second word line. The memory unit includes at least one memory cell, at least one edge-delay cell multiplexor and at least one edge-delay cell. The at least one edge-delay cell includes a weight reader and a driver. The weight reader is configured to receive a weight and a multi-bit analog input voltage and generate a multi-bit voltage according to the weight and the multi-bit analog input voltage. The driver is connected to the weight reader and configured to receive an edge-input signal. The driver is configured to generate an edge-output signal having a delay time according to the edge-input signal and the multi-bit voltage. The delay time of the edge-output signal is positively correlated with the multi-bit analog input voltage multiplied by the weight.

  • Publication number: 20240071776
    Abstract: A chip packaging structure and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The chip package structure includes a conductive substrate, a dam and a metal shielding layer. The conductive substrate includes a substrate, vias and electrodes. The substrate has first and second board surfaces opposite to each other. The vias penetrate through the first board surface and the second board surface, and a part of the vias is disposed in a first die-bonding region on which a chip is to be arranged. The electrodes extend from the first board surface to the second board surface through the vias. The dam is formed on the first board surface to surround the first die-bonding region, and the dam has a height higher than that of the chip. The metal shielding layer covers the dam and a part of the first board surface that do not overlap with the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 11349196
    Abstract: An antenna structure includes a metal frame, at least one feed source, and a feed portion. The metal frame includes at least one radiating portion and at least one slot. The at least one slot is disposed in the at least one radiating portion or adjacent to the at least one radiating portion. The at least one feed source and the at least one radiating portion form a first antenna. The feed portion and the at least one slot form a second antenna. The at least one feed source supplies an electric current for the first antenna, thereby exciting a first working mode and generating a radiation signal in a first frequency band. The feed portion spans the at least one slot to supply the electric current for the second antenna, thereby exciting a second working mode and generating a radiation signal in a second frequency band.

  • Patent number: 11201390
    Abstract: An antenna structure serving as an emitter in a radar device with optimized isolation of signal comprises antenna array as the radiating element. The antenna array includes array units. Each array unit includes radiating units connected by a feeder. Radiation area of each radiating unit gradually decreases from a center of array unit to ends of array unit. A specified distance is defined between centers of adjacent radiating units along an extending direction of the feeder. The feeder transmits a current signal to the array units, the radiating unit emits a radar scanning beam based on the current signal.
