The invention provides a system improving signal handling, e.g., transmission and/or processing. In an embodiment, the system may include a filter circuit, a magnitude bit truncation circuit and a utility circuit. The filter circuit may be coupled to a target signal which contains one or more desired signals at one or more interested bands, for attenuating each said interested band to form a filtered signal. The magnitude bit truncation circuit may be coupled to the filter circuit, for truncating one or more bits of each sample of the filtered signal to form a truncated signal. The utility circuit may be coupled to the magnitude bit truncation circuit, for handling the truncated signal to implement handling of the target signal, so as to reduce resource requirement and enhance error tolerance comparing with directly handling the target signal.

Multipliers and Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) circuits are fundamental building blocks in signal processing, including in emerging applications such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) that predominantly utilize digital-mode multipliers and MACs. Generally, digital multipliers and MACs can operate at high speed with high resolution, and synchronously. As the resolution and speed of digital multipliers and MACs increase, generally the dynamic power consumption and chip size of digital implementations increases substantially that makes them impractical for some ML and AI segments, including in portable, mobile, near edge, or near sensor applications.
