  • Configurable multiply-accumulate
    Patent number: 9391621
    Abstract: Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) contain, in addition to random logic, also other components, such as processing units, multiply-accumulate (MAC) units, analog circuits, and other elements, configurable with respect of the random logic, to enhance the capabilities of the FPGA. A circuit for a filed configurable MAC unit is provided to allow various configurations of ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY and SHIFT functions. Optionally, registered input and registered output support a multi-cycle path. A configuration of a constant facilitates the configuration of the circuit to perform infinite impulse response (IIR) and finite impulse response (FIR) functions in hardware.
    Type: Grant

  • Real-time flexible vehicle control apparatus and method
    Patent number: 8688293
    Abstract: An apparatus on an integrated circuit, and method thereof, provides a real-time flexible interface between inputs from a vehicle components and outputs to the vehicle control components. The functions comprises of a programmable interconnection matrix, engine sensors and a control interface. Both engine sensors and control functions comprise of fixed hardwired functions and a customization hardware area. The apparatus therefore provides means for flexible powertrain events control target for the next generation of low-polluting power trains of vehicles.
