    Abstract: Systems and methods for phase detection are disclosed. A collapsible three-stage pipeline includes a first register in a first stage having a first clock signal having first clock edges, a second register in a second stage that receives a first signal from the first stage, and having a second clock signal having second clock edges, and a third register in a third stage that receives a second signal from the second stage, and having a third clock signal having third clock edges, wherein each second clock edge has a corresponding first clock edge and a corresponding third clock edge. The circuitry may further include a two-stage pipeline including fourth and fifth stages, a counter that provides an input signal into the collapsible three-stage pipeline and the two-stage pipeline, and a comparator that compares a first output of the collapsible three-stage pipeline and a second output of the two-stage pipeline.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing an NoC including a configurable array of nodes, where a node of the configurable array of nodes operates in a default operating mode until a replacement operating mode is triggered. For example, when an NoC is unconfigured, a latch bank may be initialized to “clear,” such that no routing decisions are stored. This may enable a default operating mode where routing logic updates the latches' values as needed to implement required routing behavior in a dynamic fashion until configuration is performed.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit may include user storage circuits and scan storage circuits. The scan storage circuits may store data from the user storage circuits and provide the data to a user interface during a read-back operation. The user storage circuits may store data from the scan storage circuits, which the scan storage circuits may have received from the user interface during a write-back operation. The scan storage circuits may be arranged in a scan chain and controlled by a local control circuit. The integrated circuit may include multiple local control circuits that each control a sector of the integrated circuit. The local control circuits may communicate with a global control circuit over a communication network, and the global control circuit may communicate with the user interface.

    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.

The programmable circuit may include global control circuitry for interfacing with the local control circuitry to configure the sector. Each sector may be independently operable and/or operable in parallel with other sectors. Operating the programmable circuit may include using the local control circuitry to interface with the configurations bit and configure the sector. Additionally, operating the programmable circuit may include using the global control circuitry to interface with respective local control circuitry and configure the sector.
