  • Publication number: 20230378061
    Abstract: The presently disclosed programmable fabric die includes a direct fabric die-to-fabric die interconnect interface column disposed in a sector of programmable logic fabric. Each row of the interconnect interface column includes at least one interconnect interface that is electrically coupled to a microbump. The microbump is configured to be electrically coupled to another microbump of another interconnect interface of another fabric die through an interposer. The fabric die may include multiple interconnect interface columns that each extend deep into the sector, enabling low latency connections between the fabric dies and reducing routing congestion. In some embodiments, the fabric die may include interconnect interfaces that are instead distributed throughout logic blocks of the sector.

  • Publication number: 20230049681
    Abstract: An integrated circuit die includes input buffer circuits that are enabled during an input mode of operation in response to first control signals to transmit input signals into the integrated circuit die from conductive bumps. Each of the input buffer circuits is coupled to one of the conductive bumps. The integrated circuit die also includes output buffer circuits that are each coupled to one of the conductive bumps. The output buffer circuits are enabled during an output mode of operation in response to second control signals to transmit output signals from the integrated circuit die to the conductive bumps. The input buffer circuits are disabled from transmitting signals during the output mode of operation in response to the first control signals. The output buffer circuits are disabled from transmitting signals during the input mode of operation in response to the second control signals.

  • Patent number: 11528029
    Abstract: An IC, operable at a first clock phase, includes first and second IOs and a PLL. The PLL includes a control circuit, an input to receive a first clock signal, an output to output a second clock signal, and a first detector to generate a first phase difference signal from the first and second clock signals. The IC includes a second phase detector that is coupled to the PLL's output to receive the second clock signal and is coupled to the first IO to receive a third clock single from a second IC, which is operable at a second clock phase. The second detector generates a second phase difference signal from the second and third clock signals. If the PLL uses the second phase difference signal to generate the second clock signal, then the second clock signal is synchronized with the third clock signal for synchronous data transfer.

  • Patent number: 11500412
    Abstract: A circuit system includes an interposer that has a first clock network and first and second integrated circuit dies that are mounted on the interposer. The first integrated circuit die includes a phase detector circuit, an adjustable delay circuit that generates a second clock signal in response to a first clock signal received from the first clock network, and a second clock network that generates a third clock signal in response to the second clock signal. The second integrated circuit die comprises a third clock network that generates a fourth clock signal in response to the first clock signal received from the first clock network. The phase detector circuit controls a delay provided by the adjustable delay circuit to the second clock signal based on a phase comparison between phases of the third and fourth clock signals.
