Abstract
Conventionally, wiring length occupied by a directional coupler decides intervals between modules connected to a bus, and those intervals can not be shortened furthermore. Accordingly, the intervals between modules are wide and high-density mounting is not possible. In the present invention, a directional coupler in a memory bus is formed by a leader line from a controller and a leader line from a memory chip and contained within a memory module. Accordingly, pitch between the modules can be reduced and high-density mounting can be realized.
