An integrated circuit device may include a programmable fabric die having programmable logic fabric and configuration memory that may configure the programmable logic fabric. The integrated circuit device may also include a base die that may provide fabric support circuitry, including memory and/or communication interfaces. The first die and the second die may be coupled using a multi-purpose interface that may allow communication between the first die and the second die. The multi-purpose interface may allow concurrent access to the base die by the programmable logic fabric and the configuration memory by using multiple channels over the multi-purpose interface.

Multi-purpose interface for configuration data and user fabric data

Embodiments disclosed herein include electronic packages. In an embodiment, the electronic package comprises, a package substrate, an interposer on the package substrate, a first die cube and a second die cube on the interposer, wherein the interposer includes conductive traces for electrically coupling the first die cube to the second die cube, a die on the package substrate, and an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) in the package substrate, wherein the EMIB electrically couples the interposer to the die.

Interconnect architecture with silicon interposer and EMIB

A circuit system includes a power control circuit that generates multiple voltage identifiers. Multiple voltage regulator circuits generate multiple supply voltages based on the voltage identifiers. The supply voltages are provided to multiple integrated circuit dies. The power control circuit varies the voltage identifiers based on changes in metrics associated with the integrated circuit dies to cause the voltage regulator circuits to vary the supply voltages. Integrated circuit dies receive supply voltages from voltage regulator circuits through power delivery networks. The integrated circuit dies provide voltage sense signals that indicates the supply voltages. The voltage regulator circuits adjust the supply voltages based on the voltage sense signals to compensate for voltage drops in the power delivery networks.

A circuit system includes a first integrated circuit die having a first group of circuits configured to perform a first set of operations. The circuit system also includes a second integrated circuit die having a second group of circuits configured to start performing a second set of operations with a delay after the first group of circuits starts performing the first set of operations to reduce power supply voltage droop. The operations performed by the first and second groups of circuits can be interleaved with a fixed or a variable delay. Logic circuits can be partitioned into the first and the second groups of circuits based on predicted switching activity of the logic circuits. Decoupling capacitors in integrated circuit dies can be coupled together to reduce droop in a supply voltage during a high current event.

The second voltage regulator circuit generates a second feedback signal based on the second supply voltage. The circuit system also includes a third voltage regulator circuit that generates the first control signal based on the first feedback signal and the second control signal based on the second feedback signal.
