This invention describes an improved high bandwidth chip-to-chip interface
for memory devices, which is capable of operating at higher speeds, while
maintaining error free data transmission, consuming lower power, and
supporting more load. Accordingly, the invention provides a memory
subsystem comprising at least two semiconductor devices; a main bus
containing a plurality of bus lines for carrying substantially all data
and command information needed by the devices, the semiconductor devices
including at least one memory device connected in parallel to the bus;
the bus lines including respective row command lines and column command
lines; a clock generator for coupling to a clock line, the devices
including clock inputs for coupling to the clock line; and the devices
including programmable delay elements coupled to the clock inputs to
delay the clock edges for setting an input data sampling time of the
memory device.
