Buffer configurations for communications between memory dies and a host device

An apparatus, comprising:

• a buffer comprising a first interface and a second interface, the first interface configured to be coupled with a host device and the second interface configured to be coupled with a set of memory dies over a quantity of subchannels, the quantity of subchannels being the same as a quantity of memory dies of the set of memory dies, the buffer configured to:
• receive, at the first interface and from the host device, data communicated at a first frequency;
• and
• output, from the second interface to the set of memory dies, the data at a second frequency that is half of the first frequency.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory die of a set of memory dies;
• and
• a buffer coupled with the memory die and configured to be coupled with a host device;
• the buffer comprising a first interface and a second interface, the first interface configured to be coupled with the host device and the second interface configured to be coupled with the set of memory dies over a quantity of subchannels, the quantity of subchannels being the same as a quantity of memory dies of the set of memory dies, the buffer configured to:
• receive, from the memory die, data communicated at a second frequency;
• and
• transmit, to the host device, the data at a first frequency that is double the second frequency.
