| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention includes a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device comprising connection means adapted to connect the semiconductor device to an external bus which is a part of a semiconductor bus architecture including a plurality of semiconductor devices connected in parallel to the external bus, wherein the external bus includes a plurality of bus lines for carrying substantially all address, data, control and device select information needed by the semiconductor device for communication with substantially every other semiconductor device connected to the external bus, and wherein the external bus has substantially fewer bus lines than the number of bits in a single address, wherein each said bus line is a terminated transmission line, and wherein the external bus carries device-select information for said semiconductor device without the need for a separate device-select line connected directly to the semiconductor device, a bus line driver capable of producing a low-voltage-swing signal on one of said terminated transmission lines, wherein the semiconductor device is a semiconductor transceiver device to interface multiple units to the bus, wherein the multiple units are DRAMs.
