Abstract: A plurality of semiconductor devices are arranged in a stack. Individual semiconductor devices within the stack are selected by an identity signal sent into the stack. The signal is compared within each stack to a unique stack identifier stored within each of the semiconductor devices and, when the signal is the same as the unique stack identifier, the semiconductor device is selected while, when the signal is not the same as the unique stack identifier, the semiconductor device remains within the default bypass mode.

Abstract: A true random metastable flip-flop (TRMFF) complier generates an electrical architecture for a TRMFF chain. The complier selects components for the TRMFF chain from a library of standard cells and logically connects these components in accordance with a primitive polynomial to generate the electrical architecture. The TRMFF chain provides a sequence of random numbers from one or more physical processes in accordance with the primitive polynomial. During operation, one or more microscopic phenomena inside and/or outside of the TRMFF chain can cause one or more low-level, statistically random entropy noise signals to be present within the TRMFF chain. The TRMFF chain advantageously utilizes the one or more low-level, statistically random entropy noise signals to provide the sequence of random numbers.

Abstract: An interface for a semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device has a master device and multiple slave devices as stacked up with electric connection. The interface includes a master interface, implemented in the master device and including a master interface circuit with a master bond pattern. Further, a slave interface is implemented in each slave device and includes a slave interface circuit with a slave bond pattern to correspondingly connect to the master bond pattern. A clock route is to transmit a clock signal through the master interface and the slave interface. The master device transmits a command and a selecting slave identification through the master interface to all the slave interfaces. One of the slave devices corresponding to the selecting slave identification executes the command and responds a result back to the master device through the slave interfaces and the master interface.

Abstract: A device for power estimation is disclosed. The device includes a transformer circuit coupled with a processing circuit and a transaction interface. The transformer circuit is configured to count performance activities executed in the processing circuit and to compare count values of the performance activities with a predetermined value to determine a power state of the processing circuit. The transaction interface is configured to receive a request from the processing circuit and record a first timestamp, and further configured to receive a response from a memory model and record a second timestamp, the transaction interface being further configured to record a time difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp as a time difference. The transformer circuit is further configured to determine the power state of the processing circuit based on both of the count values and the time difference.
