Abstract
An integrated circuit including control/configure circuitry which interfaces with a plurality of interconnected MACs and/or one or more rows of interconnected connected MACs. The control/configure circuitry may include a plurality of control/configure circuits, each control/configure circuit interfaces with at least one MAC pipeline, wherein each pipeline includes a plurality of linearly connected multiplier-accumulator circuits. Each control/configure circuit may include one or more of (i) a configurable input data signal path to provide data to the MACs of the pipeline during the execution sequence(s) and (ii) a configurable output data path for the output data generated by execution sequence (i.e., input data that was processed via the multiplier-accumulator circuits of the pipeline). In one embodiment, the sum data, generated by the accumulator during an execution cycle is stored in the associated MAC for use in the subsequent execution cycle as the second data by the same accumulator of the associated MAC.
