Title:
NEURAL NETWORK CIRCUIT AND NEURAL NETWORK CIRCUIT CONTROL METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/058422
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This neural network circuit comprises: a convolution operation circuit that performs a convolution operation on input data; and a quantization operation circuit that performs a quantization operation on the convolution operation output data from the convolution operation circuit. When waiting for the execution of the convolution operation, the convolution operation circuit enables clock gating of a first clock supplied to at least a portion of the convolution operation circuit.
