  • Patent number: 12153866
    Abstract: Systems or methods of the present disclosure may improve scalability (e.g., component scalability, product variation scalability) of integrated circuit systems by disaggregating periphery intellectual property (IP) circuitry into modular periphery IP tiles that can be installed as modules. Such an integrated circuit system may include a first die that includes programmable fabric circuitry and a second die that includes a periphery IP tile. The periphery IP tile may be disaggregated from the programmable fabric die and may be communicatively coupled to the first die via a modular interface.

  • Publication number: 20240348253
    Abstract: Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide an integrated circuit device that implements one region definition, which may decrease design complexity, decrease software complexity, and increase ease of use. For example, the integrated circuit device may include programmable logic that implements one region definition. The region definition may include circuitry that may implement three-dimensional (3D) input/output circuitry, 2.5D input/output circuitry, circuitry for intra-die communication, circuitry for inter-package communication, or any combination thereof. By implementing one region definition on the integrated circuit device, time spent defining each programmable logic region may be reduced or eliminated, thereby reducing design complexity software complexity associated with the integrated circuit device.

  • Publication number: 20240346224
    Abstract: Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide a multi-chip package with two or more integrated circuit devices that each include hybrid bumps. The hybrid bumps may include bumps of different sizes to facilitate different types of communication. For example, the hybrid bumps may include a first bump with fine pitch for die-to-die communication and/or a second bump with a large pitch for off-package communication. The multi-chip package may include a bridge to facilitate signal transfer between the integrated circuit device with the hybrid bumps and other components within the multi-chip package. Additionally or alternatively, the multi-chip package may include an interconnect to facilitate signal transfer between two integrated circuit devices. The interconnect may include fine pitch bumps, which may be translated by an interposer to a pitch size of the bridge. As such, the interconnect may facilitate die-to-die communication and/or off-package communication.

  • Publication number: 20240213201
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a package substrate that includes first and second electrical traces. The integrated circuit includes first, second, third, and fourth configurable dies, which are mounted on the package substrate. The first and second configurable dies are arranged in a first row. The third and fourth configurable dies are arranged in a second row, which is approximately parallel to the first row. The first and third configurable dies are arranged in a first column. The second and fourth configurable dies are arranged in a second column, which is approximately parallel to the first column. The first electrical trace couples the first and third configurable dies, and the second electrical trace couples the second and third configurable dies. The second electrical trace is oblique with respect to the first electrical trace. The oblique trace improves the latency of signals transmitted between dies and thereby increases the circuit operating speed.

  • Patent number: 11983135
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes for improving off-package edge bandwidth by overlapping electrical and optical serialization/deserialization (SERDES) interfaces on an edge of the package. In other implementations, off-package bandwidth for a particular edge of a package may use both an optical fanout and an electrical fanout on the same edge of the package. In embodiments, the optical fanout may use a top surface or side edge of a die and the electrical fanout may use the bottom side edge of the die. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 11915996
    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure that includes a first integrated circuit package and a second integrated circuit package is described. The two packages can be stacked above, for example, a printed circuit board. The top package is inverted, such that a first die of that top package is facing a second die of the bottom package. A cooling arrangement is in a gap between the first and second integrated circuit packages, and is thermally coupled to the first and second die. The cooling arrangement is to transfer heat generated by a first die of the first integrated circuit package and a second die of the second integrated circuit package. In some cases, structures comprising electrically conductive material (e.g., metal) are encapsulated by a molding compound or insulator, and extend between a first substrate of the first integrated circuit package and a second substrate of the second integrated circuit package.
