Abstract

The dies of a stacked die integrated circuit (IC) employ the address bus to indicate the particular die, or set of dies, targeted by data on a data bus. During manufacture of the stacked die IC, the IC is programmed with information indicating a width of the address bus. During operation, each die addresses the other dies with addresses having the corresponding width based on this programmed information.
