Overview

The IP consists of a 12 bit current steering DAC. The DAC is connected to a transimpedance amplifier(TIA) in order to provide a voltage output signal. The amplifier can be adapted for different applications to optimize for performance, power consumption or output load of the IP.

The digital input data is saved to an internal register and provided immediately to the output.

The IP uses a single current reference input. A matching current reference cell can be provided. 7 bit gain and offset trimming is included to adapt for process variations.

The DAC is silicon proven using the AMS C18 process. Measurement results are available from evaluation and volume production. One application of the IP is an industrial sensor ASIC for safety critical applications.

Fraunhofer IIS provides a detailed documentation and support for the IP integration.
Modifications, extensions and technology ports of the IP are available on request.

Neurons cast in silicon: AI chip SENNA accelerates spiking neural networks

The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS has developed an AI chip for processing spiking neural networks (SNNs). The inference accelerator for spiking neural networks SENNA is inspired by the functioning of the brain, consists of artificial neurons, and can process electrical impulses (spikes) directly. Its speed, energy efficiency, and compact design make it possible to use SNNs directly where the data is generated: in devices at the edge.
