  • Publication number: 20240152327
    Abstract: A computing circuit is provided. The computing circuit is disposed in a memory device and electrically coupled to a memory cell of the memory device. The computing circuit includes a weight decoder, a multiplier, an adder tree, and an accumulator. The weight decoder is configured to obtain a compressed weight from the memory cell and generate a decoded weight based on the compressed weight. The multiplier is configured to generate a partial-product by multiplying an input signal with the decoded weight. The adder tree is configured to generate a partial-sum by performing an addition operation based on the partial-product. The accumulator is configured to generate an accumulated sum by performing an accumulation operation based on the partial-sum and output an output signal based on the accumulated sum. The accumulated sum is left shifted based on a shift signal.

  • Publication number: 20240079075
    Abstract: A memory test circuit is provided. The memory test circuit is disposed in a memory chip and electrically coupled to a memory macro of the memory chip. A high speed clock receives an input signal and an external clock signal. The input signal includes a plurality of test bits. A finite state machine controller provides a pattern type. A pattern generator generates and provides a test signal to at least one memory cell of the memory chip to write the test signal to the at least one memory cell based on the pattern type and the external clock signal. A test frequency of the test signal is determined based on the high speed clock. An output comparator outputs a comparison signal based on a difference between the test signal and a readout signal corresponding to the test signal read from the at least one memory cell.

  • Patent number: 10154334
    Abstract: A sports Hi-Fi touch-control Bluetooth earphone includes a neckband, a first case and a second case connected to both ends of the neckband, an earplug set on each of the first and second cases, a Bluetooth main circuit board, a battery, a main microphone, an auxiliary microphone, and a capacitive touchpad. The main microphone and the auxiliary microphone simultaneously receive audio signals. The differential amplifier of the Bluetooth main circuit board computes the signal difference between the main microphone and the auxiliary microphone. The signal difference is further processed by a band-pass filter to pass only the human voice frequency band, with low and high frequency signals filtered out. The human voices are amplified to produce clear conversations, enhancing conversation quality and avoiding unclear signals. Mechanical keys on conventional Bluetooth earphones are replaced by the capacitive touchpad, making operations easy, convenient, waterproof, and dustproof to extend the lifetime thereof.
