Optimized Clocking Solutions for High-Performance Die-to-Die Interfaces View>

Presentations

Chiplets have enabled a powerful new ecosystem of system-on-package with the die-to-die interface being a critical subcomponent of any chiplet design. The data clocking solution can make or break a D2D circuit. Immense performance requirements of the clocking solution (ultra-low jitter, low power, wide tuning range, and small form factor) mandate careful design considerations and optimization tradeoffs. Learn about Silicon Creations’ approach to supporting these challenges.

One-size-fits-all PLLs for Advanced Samsung Processes View>

Videos

SoC development budgets are growing, and market introduction windows are getting tighter. As a result, companies are spending more and more time and EDA budget on verification. PLLs and clock sources are a vital component in chips – if they do not meet the specification and yield on first silicon the cost of delays and re-spins run to tens of millions of dollars. This paper introduces Silicon Creations (almost) “one-size-fits-all” Fractional-N PLL.
