  • Publication number: 20240136346
    Abstract: A semiconductor die package includes an inductor-capacitor (LC) semiconductor die that is directly bonded with a logic semiconductor die. The LC semiconductor die includes inductors and capacitors that are integrated into a single die. The inductors and capacitors of the LC semiconductor die may be electrically connected with transistors and other logic components on the logic semiconductor die to form a voltage regulator circuit of the semiconductor die package. The integration of passive components (e.g., the inductors and capacitors) of the voltage regulator circuit into a single semiconductor die reduces signal propagation distances in the voltage regulator circuit, which may increase the operating efficiency of the voltage regulator circuit, may reduce the formfactor for the semiconductor die package, may reduce parasitic capacitance and/or may reduce parasitic inductance in the voltage regulator circuit (thereby improving the performance of the voltage regulator circuit), among other examples.

  • Publication number: 20240129291
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method to set up a cross-domain DDS-secure network and then use it to transmit various kinds of data. To set up the cross-domain DDS-secure network, we first register IoT and monitor devices on the administration website. Second, we group devices based on our needs and then ask the website to generate configurations and certificates for each device. Finally, we download those files and deploy them to each device. In an extremely case, we can accomplish all operations only through a mobile device. During the system operating, all devices establish the DDS-secure connections to each other, and data will transmit on the network securely.
