Abstract
An integrated circuit comprising a plurality MAC processors, interconnected into a linear pipeline, configurable to process input data, wherein each MAC processor includes (A) a multiplier and (B) an accumulator circuit, and (C) a plurality of rotate input data paths, wherein each rotate input data path couples two sequential MAC processors of the linear pipeline including an input of the multiplier circuit of a first MAC processor of sequential MAC processors to an input of the multiplier circuit of the immediately following MAC processor of the associated sequential MAC processors of the pipeline—wherein each rotate input data path is configurable to provide rotate input data from a first MAC processor of sequential MAC processors of the linear pipeline to the immediately following MAC processor of the associated sequential MAC processors thereby forming a serial circular path via the plurality of rotate input data paths.
