Early Architecture Exploration for Multi-Die Designs
To realize best system performance for the target workloads, designers must efficiently explore the appropriate partitions and system-level interconnect fabric. Reusing IP effectively to meet time-to-market and ensuring testability are among some of the challenges that require fast and early analysis-driven exploration. With early architecture exploration and analysis, system designers can optimize partitioning for the best performance, minimize interconnect traffic, and perform efficient power and thermal planning.

Software Development for Multi-Die Designs
Software teams can quickly develop, integrate, and test the software by having access to proven virtual die models. Assembling virtual models in a multi-die prototype allows for efficient software bring-up, debug, and analysis. Software teams can run large amounts of software in lockstep with the hardware using a unified, hybrid emulation and prototype environment.

Design Implementation for Multi-Die Designs
For seamless migration from 2D to 3D heterogeneous integration, designers require a highly integrated die/package co-design and optimization platform. Such platform can help designers with feasibility exploration, partitioning, and foundry technology selection for prototyping and floorplanning. This enables analysis-driven design implementation, including advanced packaging and die-to-die routing, with signoff verification. With a unified exploration-to-signoff platform, designers can achieve high quality of returns and accelerate time to market.

Silicon IP for Multi-Die Designs
The core component of any chip is the IP, which represents a distinct while vital function within the chip and system. Die-to-die connectivity IP, allows high-bandwidth, low power, and robust links between heterogeneous and homogeneous dies in a single 2.5D or 3D multi-die package. 3D-enabled interface IP can help minimize the complexity of chip-to-chip connectivity supporting various die topologies in a 3D stacked design. High-quality, complete controller, PHY, and verification IP solutions that are silicon proven, have achieved interoperability with ecosystem products, and are compliant with the most widely used standards can minimize integration risk and accelerate time to market.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is multi-die technology?
Multi-die technology integrates multiple heterogeneous dies (or chiplets) into a single package. Each die typically performs a specific function, and they are interconnected via standards such as Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) to form a cohesive system. Multi-die technology offers flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional monolithic chip designs.
How does multi-die technology differ from traditional monolithic chip design?
In traditional monolithic chip design, all components are fabricated on a single piece of semiconductor material. In contrast, multi-die technology assembles multiple heterogeneous dies, fabricated on different foundry processes, into a single package. This allows for greater customization, mix-and-match of technologies, and improved yield management.
What are the benefits of using multi-die technology?
Multi-die technology accelerates scaling of system functionality, reduces risk and time-to-market by re-using proven dies, lowers system power while increasing throughput, and offers new product variants for flexible portfolio management.
