OSCILLATOR ARRAY COUPLING THROUGH FERROELECTRIC CAPACITORS
An apparatus comprising a first electrical oscillator, a second electrical oscillator, at least one ferroelectric capacitor coupled between the first electrical oscillator and the second electrical oscillator, a ferroelectric capacitor of the at least one ferroelectric capacitor comprising a first terminal, a second terminal, and a ferroelectric material between the first terminal and the second terminal; and a detector coupled to the first electrical oscillator and second electrical oscillator, the detector to produce an output based on a state of the first electrical oscillator and the second electrical oscillator.
Charge domain mathematical engine and method
A multiplier has a pair of charge reservoirs. The pair of charge reservoirs are connected in series. A first charge movement device induces charge movement to or from the pair of charge reservoirs at a same rate. A second charge movement device induces charge movement to or from one of the pair of reservoirs, the rate of charge movement programmed to one of add or remove charges at a rate proportional to the first charge movement device. The first charge movement device loads a first charge into a first of the pair of charge reservoirs during a first cycle. The first charge movement device and the second charge movement device remove charges at a proportional rate from the pair of charge reservoirs during a second cycle until the first of the pair of charge reservoirs is depleted of the first charge. The second charge reservoir thereafter holding the multiplied result.
