    Abstract

    In this work, a die-to-die communication architecture with the integration of resonant clocking is presented. The novelty of the architecture are the rotary traveling wave oscillators, designed across the interposer of a 2.5D multi-die system to provide a synchronous high frequency clock to all chiplets simultaneously. The transmitter and receiver interface circuits of the architecture benefit from the use of the low power, low skew, multiple phase clock signals across the chiplets. In experimentation, a channel length of 4 mm between transceivers is investigated over a 5 mm X 5 mm silicon interposer. SPICE based simulations with post-layout, parasitic extracted models are performed. The proposed architecture demonstrates 20 Gb/s operation at 0.45 pJ/bit over a 4mm channel at a nominal 1 V supply voltage.
