    Abstract: Systems and methods for a low hold-time sequential input stage provide circuitry that includes a first latch element receiving a first input. The first latch element is connected to a first two-input multiplexer. The circuitry further includes a second latch element receiving a second input. The second latch element is connected to the first two-input multiplexer. The first input and the second input originate from different input cells of an input column that receive a same source signal.

    Abstract: An asynchronous first in first out memory device eliminates the need for synchronizers. The device includes pipeline of data registers. The data registers include a first register to accept data writes of data and a last register data reads. Each register has an enable input to indicate a full condition allowing a read and an empty condition allowing a write. A bubble inserter circuit inserts a bubble in the first register to prevent a completely empty condition for all registers. Controllers are associated with each register to allow the bubble or written data to be passed from the first register to the last register. A near empty detect circuit is coupled to the registers to determine a nearly empty condition of the pipeline. An arbiter determines whether a data write proceeds or a bubble insertion proceeds for the first register when the plurality of registers is near empty.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a Network-On-Chip (NoC) structure on an integrated circuit for high-speed data passing. In some aspects, the NoC structure includes multiple NoC stations with a hard-IP interface having a bidirectional connection to local components of the integrated circuit. In some aspects, the NoC stations have a soft-IP interface that supports the hard-IP interface of the NoC station.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a contention-free single-wire latch controller that includes first and second bidirectional signal pins (e.g., the L and R pins in the FIGS), a latch enable output pin (or signal), E, and a decision element (such as a NAND or a NOR gate). A first driving transistor may be coupled between the first bidirectional signal pin and a power rail. A second driving transistor may be coupled between the second bidirectional signal pin and the power rail. A first half-latch may be coupled to the first bidirectional signal pin. A second half-latch may be coupled to the second bidirectional signal pin.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device comprises a system reset controller. The system reset controller includes a clock signal input, a reset signal input, a clock signal output, and a reset signal output. The system reset controller is arranged to receive distributed clock and reset signal inputs and output modified clock and reset signal outputs such that asynchronous reset inputs in downstream system components can be replaced by logic elements not requiring asynchronous reset inputs with no change in externally-visible behavior except the length of reset sequences as measured by clock pulses.

    Abstract: Integrated circuit packages with multiple integrated circuit dies are provided. A multichip package may include a master die that is coupled to one or more slave dies via inter-die package interconnects. A mixed (i.e., active and passive) interconnect redundancy scheme may be implemented to help repair potentially faulty interconnects to improve assembly yield. Interconnects that carry normal user signals may be repaired using an active redundancy scheme by selectively switching into use a spare driver block when necessary. On the other hand, interconnects that carry power-on-reset signals, initialization signals, and other critical control signals for synchronizing the operation between the master and slave dies may be supported using a passive redundancy scheme by using two or more duplicate wires for each critical signal.
