mrcy.com CHIPLETIZED ARCHITECTURES Revolutionizing microelectronics with chipletized architectures CHIPLETIZED ARCHITECTURES A flexible design approach integrates individual intellectual property (IP) blocks called chiplets. The IP in a chiplet performs a specific function, such as RF capture and transmission or low-latency processing. Each chiplet is an individual semiconductor device, highly optimized for its specific function. 2.5D heterogeneous integration (HI) allows the designer to select chiplets and combine them to achieve the optimal solution for the intended use case. Benefits of a chiplet-based architecture Chiplets are a generational advancement for microelectronics that enables defense programs to utilize the newest novel semiconductors. By improving reuse, chiplets decrease the design cost for defense programs compared to legacy approaches. ▪ Reduces design timeline ▪ Lower design and production costs compared to legacy monolithic ASIC technology ▪ Re-use of chiplets enables defense programs to benefit from commercially designed chiplets ▪ Chiplets meet pressing DoD missions such as EW, radar, security and sensor processing (particularly RF bandwidth and latency) ▪ Physical size can be reduced by 70%, enabling future attritable systems to perform missions that require manned platforms today Getting more with 2.5D SiP Mapping easily into combinations of IP chiplets, the 2.5D SiP offers additional benefits meeting sense-edge processing requirements. ▪ Achieve required mix of CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs with flexible designs ▪ Combine the digital processing chain with transceivers and ADC/DAC components using a single SiP TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHT Pioneering this agile approach is the RFS1140—an RF SiP designed, developed and manufactured in the U.S. in a DMEA-accredited facility. Offering direct digitization and high-speed processing, the RFS1140 contains a Versal® FPGA, high- speed data converter at 64 GSPS, and integrated power and memory for an advanced solution to sensor processing at the edge.
