Integrated HBM controller and HBM PHY subsystem solution supporting HBM3, HBM2E and HBM2 JEDEC spec for a wide range of technology and foundry nodes. As an early advocate of 2.5D and 3D ASIC design technologies and by leveraging its experience from the industry’s first multiple successful 2.5D SoC SiP demonstration, OpenFive plays a key role in enabling industry applications that leverage the HBM 3D-stacked DRAM technology.

 

Die-to-Die IP Subsystem is targeted for heterogenous chiplet solutions in wired communications, AI and HPC applications. With recent advances in package technologies, it is possible to route high-speed signals within a package connecting multiple dies either on Interposer or on Organic Substrate. Die-to-Die Interposer I/O offers a unique value proposition in terms of low power, high throughput and low latency links enabling faster time to integration.

 

Die-to-Die Interposer I/O

 

  • CMOS I/O with programmable drive strengths
  • 2 Gbps / 1.6 GHz DDR with light output loading
  • Up to 5mm interposer trace length support meeting > 3.2 Gbps per pin date rate
  • Electrically compatible with JEDEC HBM3/2E/2 spec
  • Low latency controller features
  • Optional differential receiver

D2D PHY IP Key Features

 

  • D2D PHY signals are single ended (Single Duplex) and are based on HBM Memory Electrical IOs
  • Each channel is made up of 42 pairs of Tx/Rx signals that runs at configurable speed up to 16Gbps contributing up to ~1.75Tbps/mm
  • Channel lengths support up to 5mm with latency less than 5ns (Other combinations are available)
  • Best in the industry less than 0.5 pJ/bit power consumption
  • Built-in PLL to support differential clock forwarding
  • Self-contained initialization and calibration state machines
  • No requirement of Forward Error Correction (FEC) IP as signal supports channel BER up to 1E-21
  • Programmable output drivers, compatible to various parallel wire specification in the industry.
