Abstract: An integrated circuit with a clock distribution network is provided. The clock distribution network may include configurable clock routing paths linking a clock source to one or more clock tree roots and may also include fixed clock routing paths linking the clock tree roots to corresponding leaf nodes. Both the configurable clock routing paths and the fixed clock routing paths can be implemented using an array of logic regions, where each logic region includes a clock switching box, a horizontal routing segment, a vertical routing segment, and associated logic circuitry. The configurable routing paths may include horizontal/vertical routing segments with bidirectional tristate buffers. The fixed routing paths may include horizontal/vertical routing segments with unidirectional inverters that are configured to form an H-tree.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package that includes an integrated circuit die, a redistribution substrate, a wirebond interconnect and a package substrate is disclosed. The redistribution substrate is formed on the integrated circuit die and may be wider than the integrated circuit die. The package substrate is formed below the integrated circuit die. The wirebond interconnect may have one of its ends attached to the redistribution substrate and another end attached to the package substrate. In addition to that, another integrated circuit die may be formed between the redistribution substrate and the package substrate. The integrated circuit dies may communicate with each other through the redistribution substrate. In addition to that, a method to manufacture the integrated circuit package may also be disclosed.

Abstract: Circuits and methods are disclosed for low-skew bonding of a plurality of data channels into a multi-lane data channel. In one embodiment, phase-measuring first-in first-out buffer circuits buffer pre-buffer parallel data signals and generate phase-measurement signals. A channel-bonding control circuit receives the phase-measurement signals and generates bit-slip control signals. Transmission bit-slip circuits slip integer numbers of bits based on the bit-slip control signals. Bypass registers may be used when the integer number of bits is greater or equal to the parallel width of a lane. In another embodiment, the channel-bonding control circuit receives the phase-measurement signals from the phase-measuring FIFO buffer circuits and generates clock-slip control signals. Clock slip circuits controllably slip parallel clock signals by integer numbers of unit intervals of a serial clock signal. Various other aspects, features, and embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing or eliminating address lines that need to be routed to multiple related embedded memory blocks. In particular, one or more inputs are added to a block RAM such that when one or more of the inputs are asserted, the address input to the Block RAM may be incremented prior to being used to retrieve data contents of the block RAM. Thus, if address is provided to the block RAM and the address increment signal is asserted, data may be read from location instead of , where N may be an integer. Block RAMs with such address arithmetic may be used to implement wide First-In-First-Out (FIFO) queues, wide memories, and/or data-burst accessible block RAMs.

Abstract: Programmable integrated circuits with specialized processing blocks such as digital signal processing (DSP) blocks are provided. Each DSP block may include embedded built-in self-test circuitry implemented using existing input registers and output registers in the DSP blocks. The input registers may be selectively coupled in a loop to serve as a linear feedback shift register (LFSR). The output registers may be selectively coupled in a chain to serve as a multiple input signature register (MISR).Configured in this way, the LIFR and the MISR circuits of the DSP blocks are not implemented using soft logic and can therefore easily meet performance criteria.
