Introduction to Chiplet Technology
Chiplets are small, modular chips that can be combined to form a complete system-on-chip (SoC). They are designed to be used in a chiplet-based architecture, in which multiple chiplets are connected together to create a single, complex integrated circuit. Chiplet-based architectures offer several benefits over
