Interconnections are provided by a fixed wiring network on the MCM, and by programmable interconnection frames on each FPGA.

Buffering configurations for the interconnection frame which exploit the MCM performance benefits were selected and optimized. Bidirectional bus implementations using the frame are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":202574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1992 IEEE Multi-Chip Module Conference MCMC-92","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123982358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A yield model has been developed for flip-chip, thermocompression bondings. The model predicts the assembly yield as a function of forces and planarities of the end effector, bump height variations, bump geometries, mechanical properties corresponding to different materials and temperatures, and distribution patterns of bumps. The model calculates the deformation of each gold bump under different assembly conditions, and determines if the bonding is good, with a 15 to 45% range, or bad.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":202574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1992 IEEE Multi-Chip Module Conference MCMC-92","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126621888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior early analysis tools have taken either cache performance or interconnection models into consideration. Here such analyses are combined and extended to be more specific to RISC microprocessor cache systems. The resulting first-order model allows interactive investigation of tradeoffs at prenetlist phases of design. After summarizing the model, several test cases are presented which illustrate trends and begin to quantify design tradeoffs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":202574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1992 IEEE Multi-Chip Module Conference MCMC-92","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130242684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
