Power Saving Floating Point Multiplier-Accumulator With a High Precision Accumulation Detection Mode
A floating point multiplier-accumulator (MAC) multiplies and accumulates N pairs of floating point values using N MAC processors operating simultaneously, each pair of values comprising an input value and a coefficient value to be multiplied and accumulated. The pairs of floating point values are simultaneously processed by the plurality of MAC processors, each of which output a signed integer form fraction with a first bitwidth and a second bitwith, along with a maximum exponent. The first bitwidth signed integer form fractions are summed by an adder tree using the first bitwidth to form a first sum, and when an excess leading 0 condition is detected, a second adder tree operative on the second bitwidth integer form fractions forms a second sum. The first sum or second sum, along with the maximum exponent, is converted into floating point result.

DATA MULTIPLEXER SINGLE PHASE FLIP-FLOP
A single-phase clocked data multiplexer (MUX-D) scan capable flipflop (FF) design that improves over existing transmission-gate (t-gate) based master-slave flipflops in terms of dynamic capacitance (Cdyn) as well as performance while remaining comparable in area. Unique features of the design are a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (non-t-gate) style structure with an improvement in circuit parameters achieved by eliminating clock inversions and maximally sharing NMOS devices across NAND structures. The core of the flipflop adopts an all CMOS NAND, And-OR-Inverter (AOI) complex logic structure to implement a true edge-triggered flip-flop functionality.
LOGIC GATES BASED ON PHASE SHIFTERS
The disclosed technology relates to a logic device based on spin waves. In one aspect, the logic device includes a spin wave generator, a waveguide, at least two phase shifters, and an output port. The spin wave generator is connected with the waveguide and is configured to emit a spin wave in the waveguide. The at least two phase shifters are connected with the waveguide at separate positions such that, when a spin wave is emitted by the spin wave generator, it passes via the phase shifters. The at least two phase shifters are configured to change a phase of the passing spin wave. The output port is connected with the wave guide such that the at least two phase shifters are present between the spin wave generator and the output port.

NAND data placement schema
Disclosed in some examples are improvements to data placement architectures in NAND that provide additional data protection through an improved NAND data placement schema that allows for recovery from certain failure scenarios. The present disclosure stripes data diagonally across page lines and planes to enhance the data protection. Parity bits are stored in SLC blocks for extra protection until the block is finished writing and then the parity bits may be deleted.
