  • Publication number: 20250217049
    Abstract: A control chip is provided. A storage circuit includes a memory and a control circuit. The memory includes a first region and a second region. The first region stores command streams. The second region stores parameters. The control circuit accesses the memory. A neural-network processing unit (NPU) receives a destination block and performs a destination command stream corresponding to the destination block. In response to the destination command stream pointing to the second region, the control circuit or the NPU determines whether the destination command stream has access authority. In response to the destination command stream not having access authority, the control circuit does not read the second region. In response to the destination command stream having access authority, the control circuit reads the second region and provides the destination parameter stored in the second region to the NPU.

  • Publication number: 20250189636
    Abstract: A light sensor comprises a light-emitting component and a light-receiving component. The light-emitting component is configured to emit a light signal. The light-receiving component includes a light sensing layer and an interlayer disposed on the light sensing layer along a vertical direction. Multiple microstructures are disposed on a surface of the light sensing layer facing the interlayer. A portion of the light signal reflected by an object enters the light-receiving component and is received by the light sensing layer after passing through the interlayer. Thereby, the light sensor reduces non-uniform light transmittance phenomenon and lowers production costs of the light sensor.
