Abstract

Apparatuses and methods of data communication between semiconductor chips are described. An example apparatus includes: a first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chips that are stacked with each other via through substrate vias (TSVs) provided in one of the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip. The first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chips communicate with each other by use of data bus inversion data that have been encoded using a DBI algorithm.
