Patent ID: 8417867

Claim:
A multichip module, comprising: a first transceiver die having first transceivers; a second transceiver die having second transceivers; a crossbar switch die having at least one crossbar switch; a first protocol logic blocks die having first protocol logic blocks; a second protocol logic blocks die having second protocol logic blocks; and an interposer to which the first transceiver die, the second transceiver die, the crossbar switch die, the first protocol logic blocks die, and the second protocol logic blocks die are coupled; wherein the first and second transceiver dice, the first and second protocol logic blocks dice, and the crossbar switch die are mounted on the interposer; and wherein the interposer interconnects the first transceivers and the first protocol logic blocks to one another, interconnects the second transceivers and the second protocol logic blocks to one another, interconnects the first protocol logic blocks and the at least one crossbar switch to one another, and further interconnects the second protocol logic blocks and the at least one crossbar switch to one another.
