    Abstract: Approaches are disclosed for processing a circuit design to protect against single event upsets. A logic path of the circuit design is selected for redundancy based on a total of failure rates of circuit elements in the logic path being greater than a product of a target reduction in failure rate of the logic path and a failure rate of a voting circuit. The circuit design is modified to include at least three instances of the logic path coupled in parallel and a voting circuit coupled to receive output signals from the instances of the logic path. The modified circuit design is stored in a memory.

    Abstract: A circuit block within an integrated circuit includes a multiplexor (225, 625) configured to pass either a first signal or a second signal, wherein the first signal is independent of the second signal. The circuit block further includes a first flip-flop (210, 610) configured to receive an output of the multiplexor and a second flip-flop (215, 615) configured to receive the second signal. In a first mode of operation, the multiplexor passes the first signal to the first flip-flop. Further, the first flip flop and the second flip-flop operate independently of one another. In a second mode of operation, the multiplexor passes the second signal to the first flip-flop. Further, the first flip-flop and the second flip-flop both receive the second signal.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first die including a first substrate with first TSVs running through it, a first top metal layer and first chimney stack vias (CSVs) connecting the first TSVs with the first top metal layer. The apparatus further includes an uppermost die including an uppermost substrate and an uppermost top metal layer, and uppermost CSVs connecting the uppermost substrate with the uppermost top metal layer. The first and uppermost dies are stacked face to face, the first TSVs and the first CSVs are mutually aligned, and the dies are configured such that current is delivered to the apparatus from the first TSVs up through the first CSVs, the first and uppermost top metal layers, and the uppermost CSVs.

    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to forming and/or configuring a die stack in a multi-chip device. An example is a method of forming a multi-chip device. Dies are formed. At least two or more of the dies are interchangeable. Characteristics of the at least two or more of the dies that are interchangeable are determined. A die stack comprising the at least two or more of the dies that are interchangeable is formed. Respective placements within the die stack of the at least two or more of the dies that are interchangeable are based on the characteristics.
