    Abstract: A circuit for controlling power within an integrated circuit comprises a plurality of circuit blocks; a global control signal routed within the integrated circuit; and a plurality of power control blocks. Each power control block is coupled to a corresponding circuit block of the plurality of circuit bocks and has a first input coupled to receive a reference voltage and a second input coupled to receive the global control signal. The global control signal enables, for each circuit block, the coupling of the reference voltage to the corresponding circuit block. A method of controlling power within an integrated circuit is also disclosed.

    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: Configurable termination circuits for use with programmable logic devices are disclosed. In one implementation, the termination circuit may include one or more components to couple unused inputs of one or more configurable logic blocks to a fixed voltage. In another implementation, the termination circuit may include one or more components to couple unused inputs of one or more configurable logic blocks to an output of the one or more configurable logic blocks. In some implementations, the programmable logic device may include a platform management controller to configure the termination circuits based on configuration data.

    Abstract: Examples herein describe techniques for forming 3D stacked devices which include a redundant logical layer. The 3D stacked devices include a plurality of semiconductor chips stacked in a vertical direction such that each chip is bonded to a chip above, below, or both in the stack. In one embodiment, each chip is the same—e.g., has the same circuitry arranged in the same configuration in the chip. The 3D stacked device provides a redundant logic layer by dividing the chips into a plurality of slivers which are interconnected by inter-chip bridges. For example, the 3D stacked device may include three stacked chips that are divided into three different slivers where each sliver includes a portion from each of the chips. So long as only one of portions in a sliver is nonfunctional, the inter-chip bridges permit the other portions in the sliver to receive and route data.
