Storage device including ring wire, and method of operating the same

A storage device comprising:

• a device controller including a first channel controller and a second channel controller;
• a first ring wire including a first main branch point connected to the first channel controller;
• a first memory device connected to a first branch point of the first ring wire;
• a second memory device connected to a second branch point of the first ring wire;
• a second ring wire including a second main branch point connected to the second channel controller;
• a third memory device connected to a third branch point of the second ring wire;
• and
• a fourth memory device connected to a fourth branch point of the second ring wire.

A method of operating a storage device that includes a ring wire, a device controller, a first memory device, and a second memory device, the method comprising:

• providing, using the device controller, a first command to the first memory device;
• generating, using the device controller, a first data signal corresponding to the first command;
• providing, using the device controller, the first memory device with a branched first component of the first data signal through a first path on the ring wire, wherein the ring wire includes a main branch point connected to the device controller, a first branch point connected to the first memory device, and a second branch point connected to the second memory device, and the first path bypasses the second branch point;
• and
• providing, using the device controller, the first memory device with a branched second component of the first data signal through a second path on the ring wire,
• wherein the second path includes the second branch point.
