Abstract:
A semiconductor apparatus having a plurality of stacked chips includes: a through silicon via (TSV) configured to couple the plurality of chips together and configured to be coupled in series to a plurality of voltage drop units; a plurality of signal conversion units, each of which is configured to convert a voltage outputted from the voltage drop unit of the corresponding one of the plurality of chips to a digital code signal and provide the digital code signal as chip identification signal of the corresponding one of the plurality of chips; and a plurality of chip selection signal generating units, each of which is configured to compare the chip identification signal with a chip selection identification signal to generate a chip selection signal of the corresponding one of the plurality of chips.
