    摘要: As the transfer between a processor LSI and a memory has been increasing year by year, there is a demand for increasing the traffic amount and reducing the power required for communication. With this being the condition, a method of stacking LSIs thereby reducing the communication distance is being contemplated. However, the inventors have found that the reduction of cost in the stacking process and the increase in the degree of freedom of selecting the memory LSI to be stacked are required for a simple stacking of processor LSIs and memory LSIs as so far practiced. An external communication LSI including a circuit for performing the communication with the outside of the stacked LSI at a high rate of more than 1 GHz; a processor LSI including a general purpose CPU etc.; and a memory LSI including a DRAM etc. are stacked in this order and those LSIs are connected with one another with a through silicon via to enable a high speed and high volume communication at a shortest path. Further, an interposer for facilitating the connection with the processor LSI is connected to the input terminal of the memory LSI to be stacked thereby increasing the degree of freedom in selecting memories.

    摘要: The need for mediation operation is eliminated by adoption of a connection topology in which a circuit for executing one transmission (TR—00T), and a circuit for executing a plurality of receptions (TR—10R, TR—20R, TR—30R) are connected to one penetration-electrode group (for example, TSVGL—0). In order to implement the connection topology even in the case of piling up a plurality of LSIs one after another, in particular, a programmable memory element for designating respective penetration-electrode ports for use in transmit, or for us in receive, and address allocation of the respective penetration-electrode ports is mounted in stacked LSIs.

Each IC has: a transmitter circuit operable to send, by wireless, transmit data together with a clock signal deciding a transmission timing, and arranged so that the wireless transmission timing is adjustable; a receiver circuit operable to receive data in synchronization with a clock signal received by wireless, and arranged so that its wireless reception timing is adjustable; and a control circuit operable to perform timing adjustments of the transmitter and receiver circuits based on a result of authentication of data returned by the other IC in response to data transmitted through the transmitter circuit, and received by the receiver circuit.

    摘要: The performance of a whole system is improved by synchronizing communication and computations between stacked computing LSIs. Each of stacked an external communication LSI and a computing LSI has a PLL which multiplies a crystal oscillator clock signal, a clock pulse generator which distributes the clock signal, and flip-flop circuits. The computing LSI has a DLL circuit composed of a clock phase comparator, a delay controller, and a delay chain. In order to synchronize the communication and computations of the external communication LSI and the computing LSI, a synchronization reference clock signal is transmitted from the external communication LSI to the computing LSI via a through-electrode. An internal clock signal of the computing LSI is synchronized with the synchronization reference clock signal from the external communication LSI by the DLL circuit.
