Software-driven design optimization for fixed-point multiply-accumulate circuitry

摘要

An example multiply accumulate (MACC) circuit includes: a multiply-accumulator having an accumulator output register; a quantizer, coupled to the multiply accumulator; and a control circuit coupled to the multiply-accumulator and the quantizer, the control circuit configured to provide control data to the quantizer, the control data indicative of a most-significant bit (MSB) to least significant bit (LSB) range for selecting bit indices from the accumulator output register.
