    Abstract: A three dimensional circuit system includes first and second integrated circuit (IC) dies. The first IC die includes programmable logic circuits arranged in sectors and first programmable interconnection circuits having first router circuits. The second IC die includes non-programmable circuits arranged in regions and second programmable interconnection circuits having second router circuits. Each of the regions in the second IC die is vertically aligned with at least one of the sectors in the first IC die. Each of the second router circuits is coupled to one of the first router circuits through a vertical die-to-die connection. The first and second programmable interconnection circuits are programmable to route signals between the programmable logic circuits and the non-programmable circuits through the first and second router circuits. The circuit system may include additional IC dies. The first and second IC dies and any additional IC dies are coupled in a vertically stacked configuration.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to dynamically adjusting a timing and/or power model for a programmable logic device. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to adjusting a timing and/or power model of the programmable logic device that operates at a voltage level that is not other than a predefined voltage defined by a voltage library. A system of the present disclosure may interpolate between voltage levels defined by the voltage libraries to generate a new voltage library for the programmable logic device. A timing and/or power model may be generated for the programmable logic device based on the new voltage library and the programmable logic device may be analyzed using the timing and/or power model at the interpolated voltage. The timing and/or power model may be used to generate a bitstream that is used to program the integrated circuit.

    Abstract: A circuit system includes a power control circuit that generates multiple voltage identifiers. Multiple voltage regulator circuits generate multiple supply voltages based on the voltage identifiers. The supply voltages are provided to multiple integrated circuit dies. The power control circuit varies the voltage identifiers based on changes in metrics associated with the integrated circuit dies to cause the voltage regulator circuits to vary the supply voltages. Integrated circuit dies receive supply voltages from voltage regulator circuits through power delivery networks. The integrated circuit dies provide voltage sense signals that indicates the supply voltages. The voltage regulator circuits adjust the supply voltages based on the voltage sense signals to compensate for voltage drops in the power delivery networks.

    Abstract: A circuit system includes a first integrated circuit die having a first group of circuits configured to perform a first set of operations. The circuit system also includes a second integrated circuit die having a second group of circuits configured to start performing a second set of operations with a delay after the first group of circuits starts performing the first set of operations to reduce power supply voltage droop. The operations performed by the first and second groups of circuits can be interleaved with a fixed or a variable delay. Logic circuits can be partitioned into the first and the second groups of circuits based on predicted switching activity of the logic circuits. Decoupling capacitors in integrated circuit dies can be coupled together to reduce droop in a supply voltage during a high current event.
