Power-efficient, off-the-shelf chiplet on TSMC
7nm process offers high-performance 1.6 Tbps throughput, ease of
integration and reduced development time
Alphawave Semi (LSE: AWE), a global leader in high-speed
connectivity and compute silicon for the world’s technology
infrastructure, today announced the successful tape-out of the
industry’s first off-the-shelf multi-protocol I/O connectivity
chiplet on TSMC’s 7nm process. Aggregating the company’s flexible
and customizable connectivity IP, custom silicon and advanced
packaging capabilities, the 7nm multi-standard I/O chiplet delivers
a standards-compliant IP portfolio of Ethernet, PCIe®, CXL® and
UCIe™ (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) Revision 1.1
product.

Chiplets are becoming increasingly important in high-performance
compute (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications as they
provide essential connectivity at a higher bandwidth and lower
power than traditional infrastructure technologies without the need
for extensive customization or development. By choosing commercial
off-the-shelf chiplets, end customers can optimize performance and
efficiency while benefiting from reduced development time, lower
costs, and greater flexibility with their existing hardware
ecosystems.
Delivering a total bandwidth of up to 1.6 Tbps, the Alphawave
Semi chiplet enables up to 16 lanes of multi-standard PHY
supporting silicon-proven PCIe 6.0, CXL 3.x, and 800G Ethernet in a
combination of mixed operating modes. The announcement of the
successful tape-out also paves the way for a robust, open chiplet
ecosystem that accelerates connectivity for high-performance AI
systems by employing UCIe as a die-to-die connectivity subsystem.
An industry-first live demo of Alphawave Semi’s 24 Gbps UCIe
silicon platform was recently unveiled at the Chiplet Summit 2024
in Santa Clara, CA.
“The successful tape-out of this off-the-shelf, multi-protocol
I/O connectivity chiplet demonstrates our extensive experience of
using the TSMC 3DFabric™ ecosystem to integrate advanced interfaces
and marks another step forward in Alphawave Semi’s mission to
deliver ultra-high-performance connectivity for the critical data
communications that underpin the world’s digital infrastructure,”
said Mohit Gupta, Alphawave Semi’s SVP and GM, Custom Silicon
and IP. “Our top hyperscaler and datacenter infrastructure
customers can quickly and easily mix and match high-performance
custom SoCs with our I/O connectivity or memory expansion chiplets,
providing a new level of flexibility and scalability for their
AI-enabled systems.”
Percy Chang, Director of Emerging Business Development at
TSMC, adds “The tape-out of the Alphawave Semi multi-protocol
I/O connectivity chiplet built on our 7nm process is another
example of how TSMC is playing a critical role in the semiconductor
platforms essential to new and emerging high-performance,
high-throughput applications. We will continue to work with our VCA
partners like Alphawave Semi to foster a robust and open chiplet
ecosystem that delivers the high-bandwidth connectivity and compute
silicon needed for HPC and AI applications.”
