Abstract
Systems and methods of implementing a mixed-signal integrated circuit includes sourcing, by a reference signal source, a plurality of analog reference signals along a shared signal communication path to a plurality of local accumulators; producing an electrical charge, at each of the plurality of local accumulators, based on each of the plurality of analog reference signals; adding or subtracting, by each of the plurality of local accumulators, the electrical charge to an energy storage device of each of the plurality of local accumulators over a predetermined period; summing along the shared communication path the electrical charge from the energy storage device of each of the plurality of local accumulators at an end of the predetermined period; and generating an output based on a sum of the electrical charge from each of the plurality of local accumulators.
