Abstract: Embodiments of one or more high bandwidth chips (HB chips), e.g., high bandwidth memories (HBMs), are mounted on a module substrate. The HB chips/HBMs each have one or more HBM parallel communication interfaces (HB chip PHYs or HBM PHYs, respectively) that are connected to a companion PHY through a compatible companion PHY parallel connection that enable communication between the HBM PHY and the companion PHY. A companion PHY parallel link connection connects to a SERDES parallel connection of a SERDES. The SERDES converts parallel data/information at the SERDES parallel connection to serial data information at a SERDES serial connection, and visa-versa, that enables efficient high bandwidth data transfer over longer distances. Alternative embodiments are disclosed.
