  • Publication number: 20210335393
    Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a logic chip upon which a stack of memory chips is to be placed. The stack of memory chips and the logic chip to be placed within a same package, wherein, multiple memory chips of the stack of memory chips are divided into fractions, and, multiple internal channels within the package that emanate from the logic chip are to be coupled to respective ones of the fractions. The logic chip has a multiplexer. The multiplexer is to multiplex a single input/output (I/O) channel of the package to the multiple internal channels.

  • Publication number: 20210074333
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a pattern of pins where the signals assigned to the pins are arranged in a manner to reduce cross-talk. In some examples, a socket substrate includes a first group of pins that includes a first group of data (DQ) pins separated by at least two Voltage Source Supply (VSS) pins from a second group of DQ pins and a third group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a fourth group of DQ pins. In some examples, data strobe signal (DQS) pins are positioned in a column between the first and third groups of DQ pins and the second and fourth groups of DQ pins. In some examples, a second group of pins includes a first group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a second group of DQ pins and a third group of DQ pins separated by at least two VSS pins from a fourth group of DQ pins. In some examples, the second group of pins, DQS pins are positioned between the first and third groups of DQ pins and the second and fourth groups of DQ pins.
