Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for data path signal amplification in coupled semiconductor systems are described. A semiconductor system may implement a first die including memory arrays and a second die including a host interface. The first die may include a first portion of a data path between the memory arrays and the host interface, including a first portion of data path signal amplification circuitry. The second die may include a second portion of the data path, including a second portion of data path signal amplification circuitry. The semiconductor system may implement fine-pitch interconnection between dies to support a relatively greater quantity of signal paths of the data path which, in some examples, may support reducing or eliminating serialization/deserialization circuitry associated with coarser interconnection. In some implementations, a semiconductor system may implement a switching component operable to switch between data paths having different amplification configurations of the dies.
