Embodiments may relate to a microelectronic assembly including a substrate; a first die electrically coupled to the substrate, wherein the first die includes a first edge, a second edge, a third edge opposite the first edge, and a fourth edge opposite the second edge; and a second die electrically coupled to the substrate adjacent to the second edge of the first die and communicatively coupled to the first die, wherein the second die includes a fifth edge and a sixth edge opposite the fifth edge, and wherein the fifth edge of the second die is substantially aligned with the first edge of the first die and the sixth edge of the second die extends beyond the third edge of the first die, where the first die includes a processor die and the second die includes an input/output (I/O) die.

Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide for determining a loadline for operation of a programmable logic fabric where the loadline is based at least in part on design configuration details for a design or a configuration rather for generic deployment of the programmable logic device. The loadline may be determined using software modeling for the design or configuration. Additionally or alternatively, the loadline may be determined using runtime testing and sensing of real-world parameters. This determination based on real-world parameters of a deployment of the configuration or design is based on a determination of a step load for the design or configuration.

Dynamic loadlines for programmable fabric devices

Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide for gradually adjusting a frequency of a clock signal. When transitioning from a configuration mode to a user mode, a clock of an integrated circuit (e.g., a field-programmable gate array or FPGA) may quickly (e.g., instantaneously) switch from a low configuration mode frequency to a high user mode frequency. This rapid increase in clock frequency may cause an inrush current and corresponding current-resistance voltage (IR) drop. To reduce or avoid the inrush current and IR drop, a frequency of the clock may be gradually ramped up from the configuration mode frequency to the user mode frequency.

Controlled transition between configuration mode and user mode to reduce current-resistance voltage drop

Systems or methods described herein may relate to latch-independent clock gating techniques to enable or disable an internal clock of an integrated circuit device. A programmable logic device includes a clock gating circuit that receives a clock signal and is latch independent. The clock gating circuit includes gating signal circuitry that generates a gating signal based on the clock signal and an enable signal. The clock gating circuit also includes a logic gate that generates a control signal based on the gating signal. The clock gating circuit also includes gated clock generation circuitry that generates a gated clock signal based on the clock signal and the control signal.

Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide a programmable logic device including multiple logic array blocks each having multiple programmable elements. The multiple logic array blocks are arranged in multiple rows that are segmented into multiple segments. The programmable logic device also includes repair circuitry disposed between the multiple segments. The repair circuitry remaps logic within a first segment of the multiple segments when a first logic array block of the multiple logic array blocks has failed. Moreover, the first segment includes the first logic array block.

Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide for operating a programmable fabric including multiple programmable elements organized into a number of power domains that utilize a common voltage within the respective power domains. A current sensor senses a current of the programmable fabric. When the sensed current has crossed a threshold, the programmable fabric changes the number of power domains.

Switch based on load current

Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide efficient electric power consumption of programmable logic devices based on providing different voltage levels to different portions (e.g., voltage islands) of the programmable logic device. For example, the programmable logic device may include circuitry to provide different voltage levels to different voltage islands. The programmable logic device may implement and operate logic configurations with different operating parameters using different operating voltages for efficient electric power consumption.

A digitally communicative circuit may use standardized interfaces for connection and communication with other circuit components. Such digitally communicative circuit may benefit from using wider variety of interconnect schemes with the respective interfaces for transmission and reception of data.

The present disclosure is directed to 3-D stacked architecture for Programmable Fabrics and Central Processing Units (CPUs). The 3-D stacked orientation enables reconfigurability of the fabric, and allows the fabric to function using coarse-grained and fine-grained acceleration for offloading CPU processing. Additionally, the programmable fabric may be able to function to interface with multiple other compute chiplet components in the 3-D stacked orientation. This enables multiple compute components to communicate without the need for offloading the data communications between the compute chiplets.
