Patent ID: 11960856
Assignee: FLEX LOGIX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Basic communication processes (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. The integrated circuit of claim 7 wherein:
the Gaussian floating point data format includes an exponent field having a bit length and a fraction field having a bit length, and
the first data format conversion circuitry further includes configuration circuitry to, in response to configuration control signals, define the bit length of the exponent field and the bit length of the fraction field of the Gaussian floating point data format output by the first data format conversion circuitry, wherein the configuration control signals determine the configuration of the Gaussian floating point data format of the filter weights output by the first data format conversion circuitry between a plurality of configurations of the Gaussian floating point data format, each configuration having a different bit length of the exponent field and the bit length of the fraction field.
