  • Publication number: 20230305982
    Abstract: An interface bridge to enable communication between a first integrated circuit die and a second integrated circuit die is disclosed. The two integrated circuit die may be connected via chip-to-chip interconnects. The first integrated circuit die may include programmable logic fabric. The second integrated circuit die may support the first integrated circuit die. The first integrated circuit die and the secondary integrated circuit die may communicate with one another via the chip-to-chip interconnects using an interface bridge. The first and second component integrated circuits may include circuitry to implement the interface bridge, which may provide source-synchronous communication using a data receive clock from the second integrated circuit die to the first integrated circuit die.

  • Publication number: 20220190843
    Abstract: A seemingly monolithic interface between separate integrated circuit die may appear to be parallel or asynchronous from the perspective of the separate integrated circuit die. The signals of the seemingly monolithic interface, however, may actually be communicated between the separate die via serial and/or synchronous communication. In one method, a number of signals stored in a first parallel interface on a first integrated circuit die may be sampled. In some cases, at least one of the signals may be sampled more often than another one of the signals. A serial signal may be generated based on sampled signals. The serial signal may be transmitted to a corresponding second parallel interface on the second integrated circuit die.

  • Patent number: 10831960
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reconfiguration of a hardened intellectual property (IP) block in an integrated circuit (IC) device are provided. Reconfiguration of the hardened IP block in the IC device may transition between functions supported by the hardened IP block. A transition may occur as a pre-configured profile is selected to reconfigure the hardened IP block. Further, configuration data associated with each of the pre-configured profiles of the hardened IP block may be generated and storage space to store the configuration data may be created. Additionally, reconfiguration control logic to read and implement the configuration data in hard IP design primitives may also be generated.

  • Patent number: 10242141
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a first circuit design for an integrated circuit device, determining when multiple power-drawing events are to occur at substantially the same time via one or more circuitry components of the integrated circuit device, which would have a disruptive effect on a power distribution network of the integrated circuit device, based on the first circuit design, and generating logic that schedules the more than one event so that the more than one event do not occur simultaneously. The logic is included in an event sequencer. The method also includes inserting the event sequencer into the first circuit design during compilation to create a second circuit design and outputting the second circuit design to be implemented on the integrated circuit device.

  • Patent number: 10102172
    Abstract: A method for designing a system on a target device includes generating a timing netlist that reflects timing delays and timing relationships of a base configuration of a block in the system and a target configuration of the block in the system, wherein the base configuration of the block and the target configuration of the block implement different functionalities, and performing synthesis, placement, and routing on the system in response to the timing netlist.

  • Patent number: 9225344
    Abstract: A method of aligning clock signals in multiple transceiver channels on an integrated circuit may include adjusting a slave clock signal at a slave transceiver channel based on a master clock signal received from a master transceiver channel. A clock generation circuit and/or a delay circuit in the slave transceiver channel may be used to adjust the slave clock signal to produce an intermediate slave clock signal. The master clock signal may be adjusted based on the intermediate slave clock signal received at the master transceiver channel to obtain a total adjustment value. The phase of the intermediate slave clock signal may further be adjusted at the slave transceiver channel based on the total adjustment made at the master transceiver channel.
