Paragraph Number

75

In addition, the transmission line 308 may be a unidirectional transmission line or a bidirectional transmission line. A unidirectional line is a transmission line that is configured to communicate signals one way or in one direction, either only from the controller die 102 to the memory dies 304, or only from the memory dies 304 to the controller die 102. In contrast, a bidirectional line is a transmission line that is configured to communicate signals both ways or in both directions, from the controller die 102 to the memory dies 304, and from the memory dies 304 to the controller die 102. For configurations that include multiple transmission lines, in various embodiments, all of the transmission lines may be unidirectional lines, all of the transmission lines may bidirectional lines, or the transmission lines may include a combination of at least one unidirectional line and at least one bidirectional line. Various configurations of unidirectional and/or bidirectional transmission lines may be possible.
