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.

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.

Abstract: A method of handling integrated circuit dies with defects is provided. After forming a plurality of dies on one or more silicon wafers, test equipment may be used to identify defects on the dies and to create corresponding defect maps. The defect maps can be combined to form an aggregate defect map. Circuit design tools may create keep-out zones from the aggregate defect map and run learning experiments on each die, while respecting the keep-out zones, to compute design metrics. The circuit design tools may further create larger keep-out zones and run additional learning experiments on each die while respecting the larger keep-out zones to compute additional design metrics. The dies can be binned into different Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) based on one or more of the computed design metrics. Circuit design tools automatically respect the keep-out regions for these dies to program them correctly in the field.
