Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Dynamic operations for operations for a stacked memory with interface providing offset interconnects. An embodiment of memory device includes a system element and a memory stack coupled with the system element, the memory stack including one or more memory die layers. Each memory die layer includes first face and a second face, the second face of each memory die layer including an interface for coupling data interface pins of the memory die layer with data interface pins of a first face of a coupled element. The interface of each memory die layer includes connections that provide an offset between each of the data interface pins of the memory die layer and a corresponding data interface pin of the data interface pins of the coupled element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A memory device comprising: a system element for the memory device; and a memory stack coupled with the system element, the memory stack including one or more memory die layers, each memory die layer including first face and a second face, the second face of each memory die layer including an interface for coupling a plurality of data interface pins of the memory die layer with a plurality of data interface pins in a first face of a coupled element; wher…
