Abstract

See full text

An architecture for a chopper stabilized multiplier-accumulator (MAC) uses a chop clock and common Unit Element (UE), the MAC formed as a plurality of MAC UEs receiving X and W values and a sign bit exclusive ORed with the chop clock, a plurality of Bias UEs receiving E value and a sign bit exclusive ORed with the chop clock, and a plurality of Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) UEs which collectively perform a scalable MAC operation and generate a binary result. Each MAC UE, BIAS UE and ADC UE comprises groups of NAND gates with complementary outputs arranged in NAND-groups, each NAND gate coupled to a differential charge transfer bus through a binary weighted charge transfer capacitor. The analog charge transfer bus is coupled to groups of ADC UEs with an ADC controller which enables and disables the ADC UEs using successive approximation to determine the accumulated multiplication result.
