A closer look at Arm’s chiplet game plan

By Majeed Ahmad, EDN (June 12, 2024)

What’s Arm up to in design and development of chiplets, the highly integrated large-scale silicon solutions? The IP giant is gradually unveiling its design blueprint for one of the most exciting opportunities in today’s semiconductor realm.

It’s critical that Arm ensures a place for its compute building blocks in multi-die silicon platforms, whether they are CPU chiplets or customized application-specific chiplets. So, Arm is cobbling strategic partnerships with chip design houses as well as semiconductor IP suppliers to ensure that Arm-based systems are part of the chipset revolution.

Arm is also proactively engaged in standardization efforts to define common design frameworks for chiplet designs. That matters because Arm’s Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) specifications form the bedrock of system-on-chip (SoC) connectivity designs for over two decades.
