A multi-interconnect integrated circuit device includes an input/output (I/O) circuit for conveying a plurality of interleaved data channel groups by configuring the I/O circuit to convey a first data channel group over a default fixed interconnect signal paths if there are no connection failures in the default fixed interconnect signal paths, and to convey the first data channel group over a second plurality of default fixed interconnect signal paths if there is at least one connection failure in the first plurality of default fixed interconnect signal paths, where the second plurality of default fixed interconnect signal paths includes a redundant fixed interconnect signal path for replacing a failed interconnect signal path from the first plurality of default fixed interconnect signal paths.
A multi-interconnect integrated circuit device comprising:
A method for conveying one or more data channel groups to or from a first multi-interconnect device comprising at least one spare interconnect path and a plurality of default interconnect paths initially allocated to each data channel group in a default allocation, comprising:
A stacked semiconductor device comprising a memory controller circuit connected to a stacked memory device over a plurality of interconnect signal paths for conveying one or more data channel groups between the memory controller circuit and the stacked memory device, where the memory controller circuit comprises a plurality of multiplexer circuits connected to a spare interconnect signal path and a plurality of default interconnect signal paths initially allocated to a first data channel group, where the plurality of multiplexer circuits is configurable to operate in at least:
