PANNA: A 558 TOPS/W Pipelined All-Analog Neural Network Accelerator in 22 nm FD-SOI 150 150

Abstract:

Analog computing offers intrinsic energy and latency benefits that makes it attractive for real-time and edge applications. Conventional analog accelerators suffer from repeated conversions between analog and digital domain, which degrades efficiency and throughput. We propose an all-analog pipelined neural network accelerator architecture in 22 nm FD-SOI CMOS. Measurements of a …

1.58-b FeFET-Based Ternary Neural Networks: Achieving Robust Compute-In-Memory With Weight-Input Transformations

1.58-b FeFET-Based Ternary Neural Networks: Achieving Robust Compute-In-Memory With Weight-Input Transformations 150 150

Abstract:

Ternary weight neural networks (TWNs), with weights quantized to three states (−1, 0, and 1), have emerged as promising solutions for resource-constrained edge artificial intelligence (AI) platforms due to their high energy efficiency with acceptable inference accuracy. Further energy savings can be achieved with TWN accelerators utilizing techniques such as compute-in-memory (CiM) and …

A 1-8 GHz, 190MHz BB BW Mixer-First Receiver With Bootstrapped Mixer Switches Achieving Over 16dBm In-Band IIP3 150 150

Abstract:

In this article, we propose a wideband mixer-first receiver with improved in-band (IB) linearity. It uses bootstrapped N-path mixer switches to achieve a constant on-state gate–source voltage for large IB signals. We analyze the tradeoff between on-state resistance and off-state subthreshold current in conventional mixer switches and introduce a …

A Fully-Dynamic Capacitive Touch Sensor With Tri-level Energy Recycling and Compressive Sensing Technique

A Fully-Dynamic Capacitive Touch Sensor With Tri-level Energy Recycling and Compressive Sensing Technique 150 150

Abstract:

Capacitive touch screens have become the dominant user interface over the past decade. Achieving high framerates with low power consumption remains a critical design goal for touch systems. The conventional charge-recycling technique reduces driving power by 64%, but it relies on off-chip capacitors. To address this issue, we propose a tri-level …
