Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including memory devices and systems. Example memory devices, systems and methods include a buffer interface to translate high speed data interactions on a host interface side into slower, wider data interactions on a DRAM interface side. The slower, and wider DRAM interface may be configured to substantially match the capacity of the narrower, higher speed host interface. In some examples, the buffer interface may be configured to provide multiple sub-channel interfaces each coupled to one or more regions within the memory structure and configured to facilitate data recovery in the event of a failure of some portion of the memory structure. Selected example memory devices, systems and methods include an individual DRAM die, or one or more stacks of DRAM dies coupled to a buffer die.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for coupling semiconductor devices are disclosed. In a group of semiconductor devices (e.g., a stack of semiconductor devices), a signal is provided to a point of coupling at an intermediate semiconductor device of the group, and the signal is propagated away from the point of coupling over different (e.g., opposite) signal paths to other semiconductor devices of the group. Loading from the point of coupling at the intermediate semiconductor device to other semiconductor devices of a group may be more balanced than, for example, having a point of coupling at semiconductor device at an end of the group (e.g., a lowest semiconductor device of a stack, a highest semiconductor device of the stack, etc.) and providing a signal therefrom. The more balanced topology may reduce a timing difference between when signals arrive at each of the semiconductor devices.

Abstract: A memory subsystem architecture that includes clock signal routing architecture to split a clock signal to support two register clock driver (RCD) devices. The clock signal routing architecture may include clock signal splitter circuit that enables contemporaneous provision of a common clock signal to the two register clock driver devices. The clock signal splitter circuit may have three legs: a first leg to receive the clock signal from an external bus, and two similar legs to route the clock signal to the RCD devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses related to configured dual register clock driver (RCD) devices on a single memory subsystem using different configuration information are described. In some examples, configuration of the two RCD devices with different configuration information may include use of a serial data bus to receive and store first RCD configuration data, which is provided to both of the RCD devices to configure one or more parameters of each respective RCD device. One of the RCD devices may receive second configuration data via a command and address bus to independently update the one or more configuration parameters of one of the two RCD devices.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for partial bit de-emphasis are provided. An example apparatus includes an output driver and control circuit. The output driver includes a pull-up circuit including one or more pull-up legs, and a pull-down circuit including one or more pull-down legs. The control circuit may be coupled to the output driver and configured to receive an input signal having a first logical value and a second logical value, and in response to determining the logical transition has occurred from the second logic value to the first logic value, cause the pull-up circuit and pull-down circuit respectively to enter a first state for a duration of a first portion of a bit period and to enter a second state for a duration of a second portion of the bit period preceding the first portion.
