The Transition from SoCs to Chiplet-Based SoCs

The integration of multiple heterogeneous on-package chiplets makes it easier to combine 2D and 2.5D dies from different sources, fabs, designs, and packaging technologies. This on-package mix and match of components for system-on-chip (SoC) construction is made possible by the Cadence UCIe PHY, Controller, and VIP, while leading 3D-IC tools provide designers with the full capability to improve power, performance, and area (PPA) and close timing for multi-chiplet designs using advanced or standard packages.
