    摘要: Examples generally relate a programmable device having a unified programmable computational memory (PCM) and configuration network. In an example, a programmable device includes a die that includes a PCM integrated circuit having a PCM tile. The PCM tile includes a configuration memory (CM) and combinational logic (CL). The CM is capable of storing configuration data received via a node in the PCM tile. The CL is configured to receive internal control signal(s) and first and second input signals and to output a result signal. The CL is capable of outputting the result signal resulting from a logic function that is responsive to the internal control signal(s) and a signal of a group of signals including the first and second input signals. The CL is configured to receive the first input signal via the node in the PCM tile.

    摘要: Examples described herein provide for a boundary logic interface (BLI) to a programmable logic region in an integrated circuit (IC), and methods for operating such IC. An example IC includes a programmable logic region and boundary logic interfaces. The programmable logic region includes columns of interconnect elements disposed between columns of logic elements. The boundary logic interfaces are at respective ends of and communicatively connected to the columns of interconnect elements. The boundary logic interfaces are outside of a boundary of the programmable logic region. A first boundary logic interface (BLI) of the boundary logic interfaces is configured to be communicatively connected to an exterior circuit. The first BLI includes an interface configured to communicate a signal between the exterior circuit and the programmable logic region.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are described for adding one or more features (e.g., high bandwidth memory (HBM)) to an existing qualified stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology programmable IC die (e.g., a super logic region (SLR)) without changing the programmable IC die (e.g., adding or removing blocks). One example integrated circuit (IC) package generally includes a package substrate; at least one interposer disposed above the package substrate and comprising a plurality of interconnection lines; a programmable IC die disposed above the interposer; a fixed feature die disposed above the interposer; and an interface die disposed above the interposer and configured to couple the programmable IC die to the fixed feature die using a first set of interconnection lines routed through the interposer between the programmable IC die and the interface die and a second set of interconnection lines routed through the interposer between the interface die and the fixed feature die.

    摘要: Examples described herein provide for an integrated circuit (IC) having a programmable logic region that is capable of being configured via a programmable network. In an example, an IC includes a programmable logic region, a controller, and a programmable network. The programmable network is connected between the controller and the programmable logic region. The controller is programmed to configure the programmable logic region via the programmable network. In some examples, the programmable logic region can be configured faster, among other benefits.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are described for strategically arranging conductive elements (e.g., solder balls) of an integrated circuit (IC) package (and the corresponding conductive pads of a circuit board for electrical connection with the IC package) using a plurality of different pitches. One example integrated circuit (IC) package generally includes an integrated circuit die and an arrangement of electrically conductive elements coupled to the integrated circuit die. In at least one region of the arrangement, the conductive elements are disposed with a first pitch in a first dimension of the arrangement and with a second pitch in a second dimension of the arrangement, and the second pitch is different from the first pitch. The pitch of a given region may be based on mechanical, PCB routing, and/or signal integrity considerations.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) die and integrated circuit (IC) chip packages having such dies are described that leverage the symmetry of the arrangement of micro-bumps to advantageously reduce interposer cost and size requirements. In one example, an integrated circuit (IC) die is provided. The IC die includes a die body, a plurality of programmable tiles disposed in the die body, and a plurality of micro-bumps disposed in the die body. The die body includes a front face connecting a bottom exterior surface and a top exterior surface. A centerline of the die body is perpendicular to the front face and bifurcates the top exterior surface. At least two of the programmable tiles are of a common type. The micro-bumps adjacent the front face and coupled to the common type of programmable tiles have a substantially symmetrical orientation relative to a symmetry axis. The symmetry axis being one of (a) collinear with the centerline of the die body, or (b) parallel to the centerline of the die body.
