Method and circuits for communication in multi-die packages
Abstract:
Various example implementations are directed to circuits and methods for inter-die communication on a multi-die integrated circuit (IC) package. According to an example implementation, an IC package includes a first semiconductor die having a plurality of communication circuits for communicating data over respective data terminals of the package. The package also includes a second semiconductor die having N contacts for communicating data to and from the semiconductor die. The second semiconductor die includes a logic circuit configured to communicate M parallel data signals with one or more other semiconductor dies of the package, wherein M>N. The second semiconductor die also includes a plurality of serializer circuits, each configured to serialize data from a respective subset of the plurality of the M signal lines to produce serialized data and provide the serialized data to a respective one of the contacts.
