Interface Bus for Inter-Die Communication in a Multi-Chip Package Over High Density Interconnects

Abstract:

An IC includes first, second, and third IOs, and a multiplexer that includes first and second inputs, and an output. The IC includes first and second transmitters respectively having an output coupled to the first IO and an output coupled to the second IO. A clock generator is coupled between the output and an input of the first transmitter and between the output and an input of the second transmitter. The first input may receive a clock signal generated by the first clock generator and the second clock input is coupled to the third IO and may receive a clock signal via the third IO element from another IC. An IC includes a programmable fabric, k*n wires coupled to and extending from the fabric, n TDMs, and n IO blocks. Each TDM includes k inputs coupled to k wires and an output coupled to one of the IO blocks.
