Classification: CPC G  H  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. A method for communication for a semiconductor package comprising a package controller, a serial interface, and a parallel interface, the method comprising:
receiving, by the serial interface from an external controller, a first communication comprising device identity information, the first communication configured to transfer data between the external controller and the semiconductor package at a speed of transfer that is variable according to a signaling protocol, wherein the serial interface is configured to transfer the data together with an encoded clock signal, the encoded clock signal having a rate associated with the variable speed of transfer of data, wherein the encoded clock signal is embedded together with the data in a transmitted signal;
identifying, by the package controller, a first semiconductor die based on the device identity information;
routing, by the package controller, a second communication to the first semiconductor die via the parallel interface;
receiving, by the package controller from the first semiconductor die, via the parallel interface, a third communication; and
transmitting, by the package controller to the external controller via the serial interface using the signaling protocol that includes the encoded clock signal, a fourth communication based on the third communication.
