    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices that enable access to a first interface control circuit via test probes of a second interface. In some embodiments a memory device includes a first interface including first ports that are inaccessible to a test probe. The memory device also includes a first interface control circuit configured to control operation of the first interface. The memory device further includes a second interface including second ports. At least a portion of the second ports include test pads that are accessible to the test probe. In addition, the memory device includes a multiplexer configured to operably couple the first interface and at least a portion of the second interface to the first interface control circuit. The multiplexer is configured to selectively enable test probe access to the first interface control circuit via the test pads.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for transmitting data between a plurality of chips are described. An example apparatus includes: a first chip, wherein the first chip includes a receiver that receives a data strobe signal and further generates an internal strobe signal responsive, at least in part, to the data strobe signal, the internal strobe signal including a first edge and a second edge following the first edge; a buffer circuit coupled to a set of input terminals and captures first data at the set of input terminals responsive, at least in part, to the first edge of the internal strobe signal and further captures second data at the set of input terminals responsive, at least in part, to the second edge of the internal strobe signal; a driver coupled between the buffer circuit and a set of data terminals and configured to be activated to provide the first and second data from the buffer circuit to the set of data terminals responsive, at least in part, to a control signal; and a width expanding circuit that provides the control signal responsive, at least in part, to the internal strobe signal.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods structured with respect to a data bus having a number of data lines and a number of shield lines can be implemented in a variety of applications. Such apparatus and methods can include driver and receiver circuits that operate to generate and/or decode a data bit inversion signal associated with data propagated on data lines of the data bus. The driver and receiver circuits may be arranged to operate on a two bit basis to interface with the data bus having data lines grouped with respect to the two bits with shield lines for the respective two bit data lines.

    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip; and a first via and a plurality of second vias coupling the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip. The first semiconductor chip provides a first timing signal to the first via and further provides first data responsive to the first timing signal to the plurality of second vias. The second semiconductor chip receives the first timing signal from the first via and the first data from the plurality of second vias and further provides the first data responsive to the first timing signal, when the first semiconductor chip is designated, and provides a second timing signal and further provides second data responsive to the second timing signal, when the second semiconductor chip is designated.
