Maturity
Stage: Behavioral-model released. This is a research baseline, not a fabricated chip or measured-silicon result.
Included
- deterministic 8 ? 8 signed fixed-point mixed-signal behavioral model;
- declared quantization, mismatch, offset, noise, drift, clipping, ADC, and affine-calibration effects;
- forward
W?x, transposeW??g, and host-computed outer-product updates applied by digital weight reprogramming; - twelve-register driver contract, portable C header, synthesizable digital control shell, and explicit analog-core black-box boundary;
- canonical synthetic receipts and cross-version verification on Python 3.11 and 3.12;
- architecture, measurement, maturity, tapeout, grant, licensing, and contribution documentation.
Verified release evidence
- 35 Python tests pass on Python 3.11 and 3.12;
- 12 JSON/C/RTL register offsets and 7 JSON/C field masks align;
- the C interface compiles with
-Wall -Wextra -Werrorand passes signed encode/decode tests; - the Icarus Verilog digital-shell contract test passes;
- baseline receipt SHA-256:
2360b03babc31a438513230b78c736d7d487944a5874ad16ce45a59025b753c0; - public CI: https://github.com/yycore/analog-matmul/actions/runs/30977206824
Explicit non-claims
This release contains no verified transistor-level design, PDK implementation, physical layout, fabricated silicon, measured speed, accuracy, energy, area, effective-bit result, yield result, on-chip analog weight updates, analog gradient engine, or complete training accelerator. The differential charge-domain architecture and planned 4 ? 4 characterization macro remain unverified concepts.
