  • 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: 20230289319
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for supporting wide-protocol interface across a multi-die interconnect interface. Data signals of a wide-protocol interface are split into a plurality of data streams. A handshake signal is established between a first circuit and a second circuit, whereby the first circuit and second circuit are dies of a multi-die device. The first circuit transmits the plurality of data streams to the second circuit via a plurality of multi-die interconnect channels. Each data stream of the plurality of data streams are compressed based on the handshake signal in order to provide wide-protocol interface with reduced number of required pins.

  • Publication number: 20220197855
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may relate to data transactions involving a microsector architecture. Control circuitry may organize transactions to and from the microsector architecture to, for example, enable direct addressing transactions as well as batch transactions across multiple microsectors. A data path disposed between programmable logic circuitry of a column of microsectors and a column of row controllers may form a micro-network-on-chip used by a network-on-chip to interface with the programmable logic circuitry.

  • Patent number: 10509757
    Abstract: Integrated circuits may have programmable logic circuitry and hard-coded circuitry. The hard-coded circuitry may include data circuitry, a processor, and memory. As the hard-coded circuitry has a limited capacity, a portion of the programmable logic circuitry may be configured using configuration data to serve as expanded soft-coded memory for the hard-coded processor. Instructions for controlling settings of the data circuitry may be stored on the hard-coded and soft-coded memory. An additional portion of the programmable logic circuitry may be configured using the configuration data to serve as a soft-coded processor that executes the instructions stored on the soft-coded memory. Use of the soft-coded processor and/or expanded soft-coded memory may allow for more advanced algorithms for initialization and calibration of the data circuitry than when only hard-coded memory is used and may allow for updated processor circuitry to be implemented.
