    摘要: A semiconductor device has a first controlled chip, including a first replica output circuit having the same configuration as a first output circuit, a first ZQ terminal connected to the first replica output circuit, a first through electrode connected to the first ZQ terminal, and a first control circuit which sets the impedance of the first replica output circuit. A control chip includes a second ZQ terminal connected to the first through electrode, a comparator circuit which compares a voltage of the second ZQ terminal with a reference voltage, and a second control circuit 123 which performs a process based on a comparison by the comparator circuit. The first control circuit and the second control circuit receive a common input signal to operate and sequentially change and set the impedance until the comparison result changes when an external resistance element is connected to the second ZQ terminal.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a stacked plurality of memory chips. The memory chips each include a plurality of memory banks, a plurality of read/write buses that are assigned to the respective memory banks, and a plurality of penetration electrodes that are assigned to the respective read/write buses and arranged through the memory chip. Penetration electrodes arranged in the same positions as seen in a stacking direction are connected in common between the chips. In response to an access request, the memory chips activate the memory banks that are arranged in respective different positions as seen in the stacking direction, whereby data is simultaneously input/output via the penetration electrodes that lie in different planar positions.

    摘要: The present invention has an object of providing a high-speed, low-cost, and user-friendly information processing system that can ensure scalability of memory capacity. The information processing system is configured to include an information processing device, a volatile memory, and a nonvolatile memory. By serially connecting the information processing device, the volatile memory, and the nonvolatile memory and reducing the number of connection signals, processing speed is increased while maintaining the scalability of memory capacity. When transferring data of the nonvolatile memory to the volatile memory, error correction is performed, thereby improving reliability. The information processing system including the plurality of chips is configured as an information-processing system module in which the chips are alternately stacked and arranged, and wired by a ball grid array (BGA) or by bonding between the chips.
