Abstract:
A semiconductor package including at least one functional die; at least one dummy die free of active circuit, wherein the dummy die comprises at least one metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor; and a redistribution layer (RDL) structure interconnecting the MIM capacitor to the at least one functional die.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a control circuit and a bus interface. The control circuit packs a plurality of commands in a compound command frame. The bus interface communicates with another electronic device via a bus between the electronic device and the another electronic device, and packs the compound command frame in a single packet and transmits the single packet over the bus.

Abstract:
An electronic device has a management data input/output (MDIO) bus, a control unit, and an MDIO master. The control circuit receives a host command from a host device, and outputs a plurality of MDIO commands in response to the host command. The MDIO master receives the MDIO commands from the control circuit, and transmits the MDIO commands to the MDIO bus.

Abstract:
A semiconductor die assembled in a wafer-level package includes a processing circuit, a multiplexer, and a transmit interface. The processing circuit generates a plurality of signal outputs. The multiplexer multiplexes the signal outputs into a multiplexed signal. The transmit interface transmits the multiplexed signal to another semiconductor die assembled in the wafer-level package.
Abstract:
A layout routing method includes determining a routing pattern according to a swapping rule, a via pattern, area constraints and pin locations; optimizing swapping in differential pairs according to the routing pattern; extracting features of each routing net to obtain extracted features; using an unsupervised algorithm to generate different routing groups according to the extracted features; and determining a routing order of the routing groups according to complex features of the routing groups.
Abstract:
An electronic package configured to operate at Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) data rates is disclosed. The electronic package includes a package substrate of a rectangular shape. A chip package having a first high-speed interface circuit die is mounted on a top surface of the package substrate. The chip package is rotated relative to the package substrate above a vertical axis that is orthogonal to the top surface through about 45 degrees. The first high-speed interface circuit die includes a first Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) circuit block.
Abstract:
A wafer-level package has a first input/output (I/O) port, a second I/O port, a first semiconductor die, and a second semiconductor die. The first I/O port and the second I/O port of the wafer-level package are arranged to connect at least one management bus. The first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die assembled in the wafer-level package are arranged to receive commands from the first I/O port and the second I/O port, respectively.
Abstract:
A direct memory access (DMA) system is implemented in an electronic device that communicates with a host device via a communication bus, and includes an available descriptor notification circuit and a DMA controller. The available descriptor notification circuit indicates whether at least one valid descriptor is available in the host device. The available descriptor notification circuit is set by at least the host device. The at least one valid descriptor records DMA data transfer control information. The DMA controller fetches the at least one valid descriptor from the host device when the available descriptor notification circuit indicates that the at least one valid descriptor is available in the host device, and refers to the at least one valid descriptor fetched from the host device to perform a DMA data transfer between the electronic device and the host device.
