Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to forming and/or configuring a die stack in a multi-chip device. An example is a method of forming a multi-chip device. Dies are formed. At least two or more of the dies are interchangeable. Characteristics of the at least two or more of the dies that are interchangeable are determined. A die stack comprising the at least two or more of the dies that are interchangeable is formed. Respective placements within the die stack of the at least two or more of the dies that are interchangeable are based on the characteristics.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide a method for disabling a defective portion of a fabric die of a stacked IC device. The method includes receiving a signal indicating that a portion of a fabric die of a stacked IC device including at least two fabric dies is defective. The method further includes, in response to the signal, pulling a source voltage rail of the defective portion to ground, thereby disabling the portion, and operating the remainder of the fabric die without interference from or contention with the disabled portion. In one example, the stacked IC device is an active on active (AoA) device, and the portion of the fabric die includes a configuration memory cell. In one example, the signal is received after power-up of the stacked IC device.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, programmable circuits, such as FPGAs, may be used to implement different types of functions, such as a multi-bit adder, using look-up table (LUT) circuits as their building blocks. Efficient generation of carry-out signals and fast-carry generation signals using available SRAM cells in the various embodiments of the LUT circuit can reduce and/or eliminate area-inefficient look-ahead carry logic without a significant delay in signal generation.

Abstract: Multiplexer circuits are disclosed, such as for example for programmable logic devices. As an example of one embodiment, a multiplexer circuit is disclosed having a default state and a state-locking latch.
