  • Publication number: 20230205094
    Abstract: Compute complexes, base dies, and methods related to leveraging reticle stitching for improved device interconnects are discussed. A base die includes first and second regions having device layers, lower level metallization layers, and through vias fabricated using the same reticles. In the first region, a first subset of the through vias are contacted by higher metallization layers and, in the second region, a second distinct subset of the through vias are contacted by higher metallization layers such that the first and second metallization layers provide unique routing through vias having shared layouts and relative locations in the first and second regions.

  • Patent number: 9490807
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a logic circuit is provided that has a plurality of gates with gate inputs. Also provided is one or more latch circuits coupled to the logic circuit to provide operational data when in an operational mode and to cause at least some of the gate inputs to be at values resulting in reduced leakage during a sleep mode. Additionally provided are embodiments of non-destructive latch circuits, which may be used to implement the latch circuits just discussed. Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed herein.

  • Patent number: 8356202
    Abstract: A device and method for reducing the power consumption of an electronic device using register file with bypass mechanism. The width of a pulse controlling the word write operation may be extended twice as long so that the extended portion substantially overlaps a following word read pulse. The extension of the pulse width of the read operation may enable lowering the Vcc Min value for the electronic device and thus may lower the power consumption of the device.

  • Patent number: 6035318
    Abstract: A circuit for generating partial products for variable width multiplication operations is provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the circuit includes a plurality of partial product selector groups, each partial product selector group includes a plurality of partial product selector circuits. Each partial product selector circuit receives a portion of a multiplicand as an input and outputs a partial product. The circuit also includes a plurality of Booth encoders. At least one of the Booth encoders is coupled to each partial product selector group. Each Booth encoder receives as an input a portion of a wide multiplier and outputs a Booth encoded value to at least a portion of a partial product selector group. The circuit further includes an override circuit coupled to one or more of the partial product selector circuits.
