Semiconductor apparatus and data bit inversion

摘要

A semiconductor apparatus may include a first semiconductor chip; and a second semiconductor chip configured to transmit/receive signals to/from the first semiconductor chip. Further, a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) configured to serialize/deserialize input/output signals and a data bit inversion (DBI) logic electrically coupled to the SERDES and configured to perform a data inversion function on input/output data of the SERDES may be arranged in a preset region of any one of the first and second semiconductor chips.

1. A semiconductor apparatus comprising:
a first semiconductor chip; a second semiconductor chip configured to transmit/receive signals to/from the first semiconductor chip; a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) configured to serialize/deserialize input/output signals; and a data bit inversion (DBI) logic coupled to the SERDES and configured to perform a data inversion function on input/output data of the SERDES in response to a data bit inversion signal, wherein the SERDES and the DBI logic are arranged in a preset region of any one of the first and second semiconductor chips, and wherein the first semiconductor chip comprises:
a pad unit configured to input/output data and the data bit inversion signal;a first transmission/reception block configured to transmit/receive signals to/from the pad unit; anda second transmission/reception block configured to transmit/receive signals between the second semiconductor chip and the first transmission/reception block.
