    摘要: A first semiconductor tier has a first tier-to-tier connector for detecting a tier-to-tier coupling in a stacked integrated circuit (IC) device. A second semiconductor tier has a second tier-to-tier connector configured to electrically couple to the first tier-to-tier connector. A tier-to-tier detection circuit electrically couples to the second tier-to-tier connector. The tier-to-tier detection circuit generates an output signal indicative of an electrical coupling between the first semiconductor tier and the second semiconductor tier.

    摘要: A data processing system (10), comprised of a central processing unit (14) and a memory system (16), has an efficient initialization operation. The memory system (16) provides a bus interface unit (20) to automatically determine whether the system (10) should execute an initialization operation or function in a normal mode of operation. The memory system (16) begins execution of the initialization operation of the system (10) in response to both a logic value of a reset signal and a value of an address transferred by an address bus. The memory system (16) automatically terminates execution of the initialization operation in response to the value of the address transferred by the address bus.
