A 1×32 TDC Array With 0.056% Pixel-to-Pixel Variation Using a Global Timer Architecture for LiDAR Applications

A 1×32 TDC Array With 0.056% Pixel-to-Pixel Variation Using a Global Timer Architecture for LiDAR Applications 150 150
Author(s): Hsi-Hao Huang, Zong-Rui Cao, Ying-Ying Cheng, Jia-Yu Lin, Chen-Yi Lee

Abstract:

This letter presents a low pixel-to-pixel variation (PPV) time-to-digital converter (TDC) array designed for light detection and ranging (LiDAR) applications. The TDC array is implemented in a 0.18- $\mu $ m HV CMOS process, integrated with a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array. SPAD-based LiDAR systems require high-precision timing resolution across the …

An Approximate Digital CIM Macro With Low-Power Multiply-Add Units and Dynamic Sparse-Adaptive Configuring for Edge AI Inference

An Approximate Digital CIM Macro With Low-Power Multiply-Add Units and Dynamic Sparse-Adaptive Configuring for Edge AI Inference 150 150
Author(s): Xiaofeng Li, Yi Zhan, Purui Zhu, Rui Zhou, Jiayin Song, Heng You, Yumei Zhou, Shushan Qiao

Abstract:

This letter presents an approximate digital compute-in-memory (CIM) macro for low-power edge AI inference. It introduces three hierarchical innovations: 1) novel fused approximate multiply-add units (FAMUs) that reduces power and area consumption; 2) a bit-critical weight allocation architecture that optimally balances accuracy and hardware cost; and 3) a dynamic sparsity-adaptive configuration method to …
