  • Publication number: 20250105789
    Abstract: A differential amplifier includes an input pair of transistors with a source-side resistor circuit, having a transistor biased in a triode region, and a current source. The resistor circuit in combination with a capacitance, causes source degeneration in the amplifier. The source side resistor circuit includes a first MOS transistor having a first channel terminal connected to the source of a first transistor in the differential pair, and a second channel terminal connected to the bulk terminal, and a second MOS transistor having a first channel terminal connected to the source of a second transistor in the differential pair, and a second channel terminal connected to the bulk terminal.

  • Patent number: 12104686
    Abstract: A harmonic deceleration module, a dynamic power device, an automatic mobile vehicle, a transfer apparatus, a dynamic power supply system, and an electric bicycle are provided. The harmonic deceleration module includes a connecting member, a flexible bearing, a first frame, a first circular spline, a second frame, and a second circular spline. When the connecting member is driven, the connecting member rotates around a central axis. The connecting member has a cam part, and the cam part and the flexible bearing jointly form a wave generator. The wave generator is configured to be driven by the connecting member to drive a flexspline to continually and flexibly deform, and the flexspline drives the second circular spline and the second frame connected to the second circular spline to rotate. The second frame has a hollow channel penetrating through the second frame along the central axis.

  • Publication number: 20240274170
    Abstract: Compute-in-memory CIM operations using signed bits produce signed outputs. A circuit for CIM operations comprises an array of memory cells arranged in columns and rows, memory cells in columns connected to corresponding bit lines, and memory cells in rows connected to corresponding word lines. The array is programmable to store signed weights in sets of memory cells, the sets being operatively coupled with a corresponding pair of bit lines and a corresponding pair of word lines. Word line drivers are configured to drive true and complement voltages representing signed inputs on respective word lines in selected pairs of word lines. Sensing circuits are configured to sense differences between first and second currents on respective bit lines in selected pairs of bit lines and to produce signed outputs for the selected pairs of bit lines as a function of the difference.
