    Abstract: Systems and methods for an interface with a widened interface-to-fabric shoreline between semiconductor circuits and a narrower interface-to-memory controller shoreline. The interface providing transitions from a first clock of a first circuit (e.g., field-programmable gate array (FPGA)), a second clock of a second circuit (e.g., high-bandwidth memory generation 2 (HBM2) stack, and a third clock of a physical layer of the second circuit. A first transfer between the first clock and the second clock may use a first set of first-in first-outs (FIFO) buffers, such as rate-matching FIFO buffers. A second transfer between the second clock and the third clock may use a second set of FIFO buffers, such as phase compensation FIFOs.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit die includes input buffer circuits that are enabled during an input mode of operation in response to first control signals to transmit input signals into the integrated circuit die from conductive bumps. Each of the input buffer circuits is coupled to one of the conductive bumps. The integrated circuit die also includes output buffer circuits that are each coupled to one of the conductive bumps. The output buffer circuits are enabled during an output mode of operation in response to second control signals to transmit output signals from the integrated circuit die to the conductive bumps. The input buffer circuits are disabled from transmitting signals during the output mode of operation in response to the first control signals. The output buffer circuits are disabled from transmitting signals during the input mode of operation in response to the second control signals.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit may include integrated memory that is formed from a chain of memory blocks. Each memory block may have configurable input and output circuits. The configurable input and output circuits may be interposed between memory circuitry such as a memory array from circuitry external to the memory circuitry. The configurable input and output circuits may have upstream and downstream memory block connection ports. In such a way, configurable input and output circuits in a first memory block may pass control and address signals and data to configurable input and output circuits in a second memory block. By using the configurable input and output circuits, the integrated memory in the integrated circuit may operate to accommodate large bandwidth flows without using the general routing fabric of the integrated circuit.

    Abstract: A multichip package may include at least a main die mounted on a substrate. The main die may be coupled to one or more transceiver dies also mounted on the substrate. The main die may include one or more universal interface blocks configured to interface with an on-package memory device or an on-package expansion die, both of which can be mounted on the substrate. The expansion die may include external memory interface (EMIF) components for communicating with off-package memory devices and/or bulk random-access memory (RAM) components for storing large amounts of data for the main die. Smaller input-output blocks such as GPIO (general purpose input-output) or LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) interfaces may be formed within the core fabric of the main die without causing routing congestion while providing the necessary clock source.
