Abstract:
Modern integrated circuits have an increasing need for various levels of both supply voltage (V) and operating frequency (f) available at fine spatial and temporal granularity. This work introduces a solution that provides a number and quality of locally distributed V/f domains through FOPAC. Opportunistically sharing design resources and features between multi-phase voltage regulators (MPVRs) and resonant rotary clocks (ReRoCs) enabling i) the scalability to hundreds of domains, ii) fast switching times for both voltage and frequency, leading to temporal flexibility, and iii) locally distributed designs, leading to spatial flexibility.
Abstract:
A dynamic rotary traveling wave oscillator circuit includes plurality of multi-output spot-advancing blocks (MOSABs) forming a main-loop and a plurality of multi-input spot-advancing blocks (MISABs) forming a sub-loop. Depending on a desired division ratio, a connection connects blocks on the MOSABs and MISABs to create the desired division ratio.

Abstract:
On-chip wireless links offer improved network performance due to long distance communication, additional bandwidth, and broadcasting capabilities of antennas. A Through-Silicon Via (TSV)-based antenna design called TSV_A establishes multi-band wireless communication through the silicon substrate medium with only a 3 dB loss over a 30 mm on-chip distance. Simulation results show an improvement in network latency up to ˜13% (average improvement of ˜7%), energy-delay improvements of ˜34% on average, and an improvement in throughput up to ˜34% (average improvement).
