What is a Chiplet, and Why Should You Care?
Chiplets are a new way to build system-on-chips (SoCs) that can improve yields and reduce costs by more than 45%. It partitions the chip into discrete elements and connects them with a standardized interface, allowing designers to meet performance, efficiency, power, size, and cost challenges in the 5/6G, AI, and VR era.
Unlike monolithic SoCs, chiplets enable an open ecosystem of modular components that can be reused and customized. But what exactly is a chiplet and what are the advantages of using it?
What is a Chiplet?
A chiplet is a small, modular chip that performs a specific function very well. For example, a chiplet can be a processor core, a memory block, an I/O driver, or a signal processing unit. Chiplets are designed to be used in a chiplet-based architecture, in which multiple chiplets are connected through a standardized high-speed digital interface to form a complete system-on-chip (SoC).
