Neural network circuit and neural network circuit control method

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-performance neural network circuit which can be incorporated into an embedded device such as an IoT device. SOLUTION: A neural network circuit includes a convolution operation circuit that performs a convolution operation on input data, a quantization operation circuit that performs a quantization operation on the convolution operation output data of the convolution operation circuit, and the convolution operation circuit. Alternatively, it includes an instruction fetch unit that reads an instruction command for operating the quantization operation circuit from an external memory. [Selection diagram] FIG. 7
