Abstract:
Some embodiments include apparatus and methods having an input to receive an input signal, additional inputs to receive clock signals having different phases to sample the input signal, and a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) having DFE slices. The DFE slices include a number of data comparators to provide data information based on the sampling of the input signal, and a number of phase error comparators to provide phase error information associated with the sampling of the input signal. The number of phase error comparators of the DFE slices is not greater than the number of data comparators of the DFE slices.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for hybrid memory. In one embodiment, a hybrid memory may include a package substrate. The hybrid memory may also include a hybrid memory buffer chip attached to the first side of the package substrate. High speed input/output (HSIO) logic supporting a HSIO interface with a processor. The hybrid memory also includes packet processing logic to support a packet processing protocol on the HSIO interface. Additionally, the hybrid memory also has one or more memory tiles that are vertically stacked on the hybrid memory buffer.
Abstract:
Methods of selectively transferring integrated circuit (IC) components between substrates, and devices and systems formed using the same, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a first substrate with a release layer and a layer of IC components over the release layer is received, and a second substrate with one or more adhesive areas is received. The layer of IC components may include one or more waveguides, ring resonators, drivers, photodetectors, transimpedance amplifiers, and/or electronic integrated circuits. The first substrate is partially bonded to the second substrate, such that a subset of IC components on the first substrate are bonded to the adhesive areas on the second substrate. The first substrate is then separated from the second substrate, and the subset of IC components bonded to the second substrate are separated from the first substrate and remain on the second substrate.

Abstract:
Techniques for forming high-bandwidth proximity connection between capacitively coupled plug and receptacle are described herein. A system for achieving capacitive coupling between contactless pads is described. The techniques include aligning and retaining the plug and receptacle in close proximity to one another. The techniques include cancelling crosstalk in the system based on the symmetry and orientation of differential pairs comprising signal pads. The techniques include enabling a high-bandwidth proximity transmission by filtering the transmission using a silicon buffer component.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, the present invention includes a protocol stack having a transaction layer and a link layer. In addition a first physical (PHY) unit is coupled to the protocol stack to provide communication between a processor and a device coupled to the processor via a physical link, where the first PHY unit is of a low power communication protocol and includes a first physical unit circuit. In turn, a second PHY unit is coupled to the protocol stack to provide communication between the processor and the device via a sideband channel coupled between the multicore processor and the device separate from the physical link, where the second PHY unit includes a second physical unit circuit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments disclosed herein include waveguides. In an embodiment, a waveguide comprises a conductive shell and a first ridge within the conductive shell. In an embodiment, the first ridge extends away from the conductive shell. In an embodiment, the waveguide further comprises a first core over the first ridge, where the first core comprises a first dielectric material with a first permittivity. In an embodiment, the waveguide may further comprise a second core embedded in the first core, where the second core comprises a second dielectric material with a second permittivity that is greater than the first permittivity.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and systems for proximity communications. The apparatus may include an integrated circuit (IC) package with a central processing unit (CPU) circuit, an input-output (I/O) circuit coupled with the CPU circuit, and a dielectric electromagnetic waveguide coupled with the I/O circuit, to enable communications between the CPU circuit and another apparatus. In another instance, the apparatus may include a plurality of coupler pads disposed on a first surface of the apparatus; and a processor electrically coupled with the coupler pads. One of the coupler pads may form capacitive coupling with one of coupler pads disposed on a second surface of another apparatus, in response to a placement of the first surface in at least partial contact with the second surface, to enable proximity data communication between the processor and the other apparatus. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
