An 18.4-Gb/s/pin Simultaneous Bidirectional Transceiver for Post HBM4 Using Four-Phase Hybrid Timing Alignment and Dual Equalization

An 18.4-Gb/s/pin Simultaneous Bidirectional Transceiver for Post HBM4 Using Four-Phase Hybrid Timing Alignment and Dual Equalization 150 150
Author(s): Minchang Kim, Hankyu Chi, Sooncheol Kwon, Icsu Oh, Seulgi Kim, Heewoong Song, Daeho Yun, Jaehong Jeong, Daejoon Kim, Kichul Hong, Jeonghyun Park, Woo-Seok Choi, Hae-Kang Jung, Hoyoung Son, Inchul Jeong, Hyungsoo Kim, Jonghwan Kim

Abstract:

This letter presents a simultaneous bidirectional (SBD) transceiver for post HBM4. It is difficult to increase the data rate due to poor channel characteristics of the silicon interposer and the limited physical area of the IO in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) interface. SBD signaling is attractive because it doubles the per-pin …

Abstract:

In-memory computing (IMC) hardware accelerators for deep neural networks (DNNs) require storing a massive number of coefficients within a single computing macro to avoid performance degradation in multicore clusters. This aspect, often overlooked by common figures of merit (FoMs), can be effectively addressed by phase-change memory (PCM) technology, thanks to …
