Application: Semiconductor device (Patent ID: US20240104034A1)

The patent filed by Renesas Electronics Corp. describes a semiconductor device with a memory having multiple banks storing pixel data, n multiply-accumulate units, and controllers for transferring data between memory and units. A sequence controller coordinates the transfer of pixel data from specific pixel spaces in the memory to designated multiply-accumulate units using input channels. Additionally, the output DMA controller transfers data from the multiply-accumulate units back to the memory.

The semiconductor device's functionality is based on a neural network engine that processes neural networks, with a first memory storing weight parameters and a second memory storing pixel data. The device includes a processor, system bus, and memory bus to interconnect components. The sequence controller manages the transfer of pixel data from specific pixel spaces in the memory to designated multiply-accumulate units using input channels, as well as the transfer of data back to the memory. This design allows for efficient processing and manipulation of pixel data within the semiconductor device.
