An integrated circuit including a circuit for determining shift overflow in a binary digital circuit having an n-bit shift data and an m-bit shift amount. The device has a logic array for producing an n-bit output from the m-bit shift amount; a conversion circuit for selectively converting the sign of an n-bit shift data; and a combination of OR and AND logical gates for logically combining the selectively converted n-bit shift data and the n-bit output producing an overflow output.

An apparatus having a three-dimensional integrated circuit structure is described herein. The apparatus include an interposer for carrying a plurality of high and low-power chips. The high-power chips are attached and connected to one side of the interposer, while the low-power chips are attached and connected to the other side of the interposer. In generally, the high-power chips produce more heat than does the low-power chip during their operations. The interposer further include through silicon vias and redistribution layers for connecting the chips on both surfaces. In addition, the interposer assembly is attached and connected to a substrate layer, which is in turn attached and connected to a printed circuit board. In order to provide improve thermal management, the interposer surface carrying the high-power chips are oriented away from the circuit board. A heat spreader is attached to the back sides of the high-power chips for dissipating the heat.

An adder using a leading zero/one detector (LZD) circuit and method of use determine an exact normalization shift with fewer logic levels and number of gates, resulting in saving considerable execution time to improve not only the timing as well as to reduce the size of the logic implementing the adder. In addition, a parallel method to locate the most significant digit is disclosed. Such an LZD circuit and method may be incorporated in an integrated circuit, and the LZD circuit includes a propagation value generator for generating a propagation value from input signals representing operands; and a location value generator for generating the location value from the generated propagation value.

An integrated circuit having a fast carry generation adder for adding together two input signals has an initial stage and two or more intermediate stages. The adder may also include a final stage. Each intermediate stage has a carry mux and these carry muxes are grouped together, for example, adjacent to the initial stage and adjacent to the first intermediate stage. By grouping the carry muxes together, for example, in a column below the initial stage, the fast carry generation adder may be both faster and smaller than conventional adders and may reduce or even eliminate the need for any buffering between successive carry muxes.
