Connection interface and lane connection method thereof adapted for die-to-die

Abstract

A connection interface adapted for die-to-die includes a plurality of first usage lanes, a plurality of first spare lanes, a plurality of receiving lanes, and a controller. The controller is configured to connect each of the plurality of receiving lanes to a corresponding one of the plurality of first usage lanes and to respectively monitor the plurality of first usage lanes. In response to that any of the plurality of first usage lanes is monitored as an unhealthy lane by the controller, the controller changes one of the plurality of receiving lanes which is currently connected to the unhealthy lane to be instead connected to one of the plurality of first spare lanes.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
