    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and systems for providing sleep clock edge-based global counter synchronization in a multiple-chiplet system. A system-on-a-chip (SoC) may include a first chiplet including a first chiplet global counter subsystem, and a second chiplet including a second chiplet global counter subsystem. The SoC may further include an interface bus communicatively coupling the first chiplet and the second chiplet, and a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) configured to supply a sleep clock to the first chiplet and the second chiplet. The first chiplet may be configured to transmit a global counter synchronization pulse trigger to the second chiplet across the interface bus. The second chiplet may be configured to load a global counter synchronization value into the second chiplet global counter subsystem at a sleep clock synchronization edge of the sleep clock in response to receiving the global counter synchronization pulse trigger.

    Abstract: A glitch filtering circuit has a counting circuit configured to provide one or more counter output signals indicating whether an input signal has remained in a first signaling state or in a second signaling state for a preconfigured duration of time; a flipflop clocked by a clock signal and configured to provide an output of the glitch filtering circuit; a threshold detect circuit configured to generate a select signal based on the one or more counter output signals; and a multiplexer configured to provide a multiplexed signal to an input of the flipflop, the multiplexed signal having a signaling state that is selected in accordance with the select signal from an input fixed at the first signaling state, an input fixed at the second signaling state and an input that is coupled to the output of the glitch filtering circuit.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and systems performed by a processor of a first function block for providing secure timer synchronization with a second function block. Various embodiments may include storing, in a shared register space, a first time counter value in which the first time counter value is based on a global counter of the second function block, transmitting, from the shared register space, the stored first time counter value to a preload register of the first function block, receiving, by the first function block, a strobe signal from the second function block configured to enable the first time counter value in the preload register to be loaded into a global counter of the first function block, and configuring the global counter with the first time counter value from the preload register.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are configured to enable a receiver to provide feedback. In one example, a method performed at a device coupled to a serial bus includes receiving a write command from the serial bus in a datagram, writing a data byte received in a first data frame of the datagram to a register address identified by the datagram, and using a second data frame of the datagram to provide feedback regarding the datagram. Feedback may be provided by driving a data line of the serial bus to provide a negative acknowledgement during the second data frame when a transmission error is detected in the datagram, and refraining from driving the data line of the serial bus during the second data frame when no transmission error is detected in the datagram, thereby providing an acknowledgement of the datagram.
