As shown in FIG. 2A, the memory system 100 may include a plurality of transmission (Tx) lines (or channels) 134 connecting the controller die 102 and the plurality of memory dies 104. In general, a transmission line is any conductive structure or combination of conductive structures configured to conduct alternating current (AC) or radio frequency (RF) signals from a transmitter that is transmitting the signals to a receiver that is receiving the signals. For the example memory systems described herein, transmission lines are included to communicate signals between (including to and from) the controller die 102 and the memory dies 104. The controller die 102 and the memory dies 104 may be configured to communicate signals--including data signals, clock signals, and command signals--over the plurality of transmission (Tx) lines 134. A signal that is communicated between the controller die 102 and the memory dies 104 may be either transmitted from the controller die 102 over one of the transmission lines 134 to the memory dies 104, or transmitted from the memory dies 104 over one of the transmission lines 134 to the controller die 102. In this context, the controller die 102 and each of the memory dies 104 may be configured as transceiver circuits (or dies) in that they may each be configured to transmit and receive signals.
