    Abstract: A seemingly monolithic interface between separate integrated circuit die may appear to be parallel or asynchronous from the perspective of the separate integrated circuit die. The signals of the seemingly monolithic interface, however, may actually be communicated between the separate die via serial and/or synchronous communication. In one method, a number of signals stored in a first parallel interface on a first integrated circuit die may be sampled. In some cases, at least one of the signals may be sampled more often than another one of the signals. A serial signal may be generated based on sampled signals. The serial signal may be transmitted to a corresponding second parallel interface on the second integrated circuit die.
