Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a cell block and a data block. The cell block includes an operation circuit having a first capacitor and a second capacitor and an input circuit configured to couple the first capacitor and the second capacitor to a bit line according to differential voltages provided via word lines and corresponding to a first data. The data block includes a capacitor array having a variable capacitance corresponding to a value of a second data; and a coupling switch configured to couple the bit line and the data block. The cell block and the data block may be used to perform a Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) operation.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include a first voltage source providing a first voltage having a first polarity. The integrated circuit may include a second voltage source providing a second voltage having a second polarity that is opposite the first polarity. The integrated circuit may include a first circuit portion configured to receive the first and second voltages and provide one or more feedback voltages. The integrated circuit may include a second circuit portion configured to receive the first and second voltages along with the one or more feedback voltages and provide an output voltage that is proportional to the first voltage based on a rational conversion ratio that is derived by selection of at least one of the first and second voltages and the one or more feedback voltages.

Abstract: A self-oscillating DC-DC converter structure is proposed in which an oscillator is completely internalized within the switched-capacitor network. This eliminates power overhead of clock generation and level shifting and enables higher efficiency at lower power levels. Voltage doublers are cascaded to form a complete energy harvester with a wide load range from 5 nW to 5 ?W and self-starting operation down to 140 mV. Because each doubler is self-oscillating, the frequency of each stage can be independently modulated, thereby optimizing the overall conversion efficiency.

Abstract: Circuitry formed of a two-dimensional regular array of capacitive elements 2 is coupled to decoding circuitry in the form of column decoder 8 and a row decoder 6. The decoders 8, 6 are used to select a start point and an end point within a sequence of selected capacitive elements to be connected in parallel following a horizontal raster scan arrangement. The selected capacitive elements may be used to generate an output voltage with a magnitude corresponding to the number of selected capacitive elements.
