Abstract: A clock phase control circuit includes a clock input gate module, first and second shift register divider modules, and a multiplexer. The clock input gate module is configured to produce, based on an oscillating input clock signal, first and second intermediate clock signals. The first shift register divider module is configured to produce at least one first phase clock signal based on the first intermediate clock signal, where the at least one first phase clock signal has a different frequency than the first intermediate clock signal. The second shift register divider module is configured to produce at least one second phase clock signal based on the second intermediate clock signal, where the at least one second phase clock signal has a different frequency than the second intermediate clock signal. The multiplexer is configured to produce an output clock signal by selecting one of the first or second phase clock signals.

Abstract: An MCM-HIC device flexibly adds enhanced features to a VLSI “core” IC that are not directly supported by the core IC, such as unsupported communication protocols and/or support of cold spare operation. The core IC is mounted on an interconnecting substrate together with at least one “chiplet” that provides the required feature(s). The chiplet can be programmable. The chiplet can straddle a boundary of an interposer region of the substrate that provides higher density interconnections at lower currents. The disclosed method can include selecting a core IC and at least one active, passive, or “mixed” chiplet, configuring a substrate, and installing the core IC and chiplet(s) on the substrate. In embodiments, the core IC and/or chiplet(s) can be modified before assembly to obtain the desired result. Cost can be reduced by pre-designing and, in embodiments, pre-manufacturing the chiplets and modified core ICs in cost-effective quantities.
