  • Publication number: 20220416428
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems, devices, and methods for an antenna assembly included in an integrated circuit (IC) package. The antenna assembly may be used for near field wireless communication such as package-to-package and/or chip-to-chip communication. The antenna assembly may include a feed plate (e.g., a top feed) that is capacitively coupled to a first via and a second via. The feed plate may further be capacitively coupled to a loading structure. The first via may be conductively coupled to a ground potential. In some embodiments, the antenna assembly may further include a stub structure (e.g., an open stub or a short stub) that is conductively coupled to the second via. An impedance matching network may be coupled between the feed plate and an IC die that communicates using the antenna assembly. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11334511
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a peer-to-peer (P2P) control circuit to issue a P2P communication request to a bus master of a multi-drop interconnect to request authorization to send a P2P transaction to at least one slave device coupled to the multi-drop interconnect; a transmitter to transmit the P2P transaction to the at least one slave device when the bus master grants the authorization for the P2P transaction; and another transmitter to output the clock signal to the multi-drop interconnect during the P2P transaction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20210224206
    Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a DIMM hub circuit. The DIMM hub circuit includes first bus interface circuitry, control circuitry and second bus interface circuitry. The first bus interface circuitry is to receive header information and payload information from a host. The control circuitry is to process the header information and recognize that the payload is to be passed to a target component that is coupled to the DIMM hub circuit through a second bus that is a same type of bus as the first bus. The second bus interface circuitry to send the payload information over the second bus to the target component, wherein, the payload information is to include embedded header information to be processed by the target component.
