1. A system, comprising:

  • a plurality of memory devices; and

    a channel, comprising;

    a transmission line, wherein the transmission line includes thin layers of insulating material between conducting layers and micro-via holes connecting conducting layers through the thin insulating layers; and

    an interface circuit, wherein the interface circuit includes a programmable I/O driver operable to be programmed to present any one of a plurality of driver impedances;

    wherein the channel is configured to provide electrical communication between a memory controller and a first memory device of the plurality of memory devices, andwherein at least one of a target impedance of the transmission line or a driver impedance of the programmable I/O driver provides impedance matching between the memory controller and the first memory device.
