    Abstract: A method includes mapping an aging measurement circuit (AMC) into the core fabric of an FPGA and operating the AMC for a select time period. During the select period of time, the AMC counts transition of a signal propagating through the AMC. Timing information based on the counted transitions is stored in a timing model in a memory. The timing information represents an aging characteristic of the core fabric at a time that the AMC is operated. An EDA toolchain uses the timing information in the timing model to generate a timing guard-band for the configurable IC die. The AMC is removed from the core fabric and another circuit device is mapped and fitted into the core fabric using the generated timing guard-band models. The circuit device is operated in the configurable IC die based on the timing guard-band models.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a stacked die system and methods for forming such systems. In an embodiment, the stacked die system may include a first die. The first die may include a device layer and a plurality of routing layers formed over the device layer. The plurality of routing layers may be segmented into a plurality of sub regions. In an embodiment no conductive traces in the plurality of routing layers pass over a boundary between any of the plurality of sub regions. In an embodiment, the stacked die system may also include a plurality of second dies stacked over the first die. According to an embodiment, at least a two of the second dies are communicatively coupled to each other by a die to die interconnect formed entirely within a single sub region in the first die.

    Abstract: A multi-chip packaged device may include a first integrated circuit die with a first integrated circuit, such that the first integrated circuit may include a first plurality of ports disposed on a first side and a second plurality of ports disposed on a second side of the first integrated circuit die. The multi-chip packaged device may also include a second integrated circuit die, such that the second integrated circuit may include a third plurality of ports disposed on a third side of the second integrated circuit die. The first integrated circuit may communicate with the first side of the second integrated circuit when placed adjacent to the first side and communicate with the second side of the first integrated circuit die when placed adjacent to the second side.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to dynamically adjusting a timing and/or power model for a programmable logic device. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to adjusting a timing and/or power model of the programmable logic device that operates at a voltage level that is not other than a predefined voltage defined by a voltage library. A system of the present disclosure may interpolate between voltage levels defined by the voltage libraries to generate a new voltage library for the programmable logic device. A timing and/or power model may be generated for the programmable logic device based on the new voltage library and the programmable logic device may be analyzed using the timing and/or power model at the interpolated voltage. The timing and/or power model may be used to generate a bitstream that is used to program the integrated circuit.
