    摘要: A three dimensional on-chip inductor, transformer and radio frequency amplifier are disclosed. The radio frequency amplifier includes a pair of transformers and a transistor. The transformers include at least two inductively coupled inductors. The inductors include a plurality of segments of a first metal layer, a plurality of segments of a second metal layer, a first inductor input, a second inductor input, and a plurality of through silicon vias coupling the plurality of segments of the first metal layer and the plurality of segments of the second metal layer to form a continuous, non-intersecting path between the first inductor input and the second inductor input. The inductors can have a symmetric or asymmetric geometry. The first metal layer can be a metal layer in the back-end-of-line section of the chip. The second metal layer can be located in the redistributed design layer of the chip.

    摘要: Thermal conductivity in a stacked IC device can be improved by constructing one or more active temperature control devices within the stacked IC device. In one embodiment, the control devices are thermal electric (TE) devices, such as Peltier devices. The TE devices can then be selectively controlled to remove or add heat, as necessary, to maintain the stacked IC device within a defined temperature range. The active temperature control elements can be P-N junctions created in the stacked IC device and can serve to move the heat laterally and/or vertically, as desired.

    摘要: In one particular embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a package and a substrate electrically and physically coupled to the package. The package includes a first pin, a second pin, and metallization coupling the first pin to the second pin. The substrate is coupled to the package via the first pin and the second pin. The substrate includes a plurality of power domains and a power control unit. The second pin of the package is coupled to a particular power domain of the plurality of power domains. The power control unit includes logic and a switch, where the switch includes a first terminal coupled to a voltage supply terminal, a control terminal coupled to the logic, and a second terminal coupled to the first pin of the package. The logic selectively activates the switch to distribute power to the particular power domain via the metallization of the package.

    摘要: A device is disclosed that includes a first pin to supply power to a first power domain of an integrated circuit, a second pin to supply power to a second power domain of the integrated circuit, a switching regulator and a controller. The switching regulator is coupled to the first pin to provide a first regulated power supply to the first power domain and is coupled to the second pin to provide a second regulated power supply to the second power domain. The controller is coupled to the first pin and to the second pin to selectively reduce current flow to at least the second pin during a low power event.
