摘要:
An apparatus comprising a plurality of memory components each comprising a plurality of memory banks, a memory controller coupled to the memory components and configured to control and select a one of the plurality of memory components for a memory operation, a plurality of address/command buses coupled to the plurality of memory components and the memory controller comprising at least one shared address/command bus between at least some of the plurality of memory components, and a plurality of data buses coupled to the memory components and the memory controller comprising at least one data bus between at least some of the memory components, wherein the memory controller uses a memory interleaving and bank arbitration scheme in a time-division multiplexing (TDM) fashion to access the plurality of memory components and the memory banks.
摘要:
A multi-die integrated circuit assembly includes an interposer substrate larger than the typical reticle size used in fabricating the “active area” in which the through-silicon vias (TSVs) and interconnect conductors are formed in the interposer. At the same time, each of the dies has its external power/ground and I/O signal line connections concentrated into a smaller area of the die. The dies are disposed or mounted on the interposer such that these smaller areas (with the power/ground/IO connections) overlap with the active area of the interposer. In this configuration, a plurality of dies having a combined area substantially greater than the active area of the interposer can be mounted on the interposer (and take advantage of the active area for interconnections).
