Abstract:
There is provided a memory module that facilitates meeting the needs of high-speed performance and large capacity. It comprises first module substrates (10 through 108), each with multiple DRAM devices (11), and a second module substrate whereon the first modules (10 through 108) are mounted, signal line groups connected to the multiple first modules respectively are provided in parallel, and a controller LSI (50), connected to the multiple first modules respectively via the signal line groups provided in parallel, that converts the signal lines into fewer signal lines than the total number of the signal line groups and outputs the result is provided, and the second module substrate (20) is mounted on a motherboard (40).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a converter device. In a first aspect of the present invention, a converter device includes a board having a first side and a second side. The first side includes a first set of contacts suitable for electrically contacting an integrated circuit having a first configuration. The second side includes a second set of contacts suitable for electrically contacting a circuit board having a second configuration. The second set of contacts is communicatively coupled to the first set of contacts.
Abstract:
A multidie semiconductor device (MDSCD) package includes a generally planar interposer comprising a substrate with a central receptacle, upper surface conductors, and outer connectors on the lower surface of the interposer. Conductive vias connect upper surface conductors with outer connectors. One or more semiconductor devices may be mounted in the receptacle and one or more other semiconductor devices mounted above and/or below the interposer and attached thereto. The package may be configured to have a footprint not significantly larger than the footprint of the largest device and/or a thickness not significantly greater than the combined thickness of included devices. Methods for assembling and encapsulating packages from multidie wafers and multi-interposer sheets or strips are disclosed. Methods for combining a plurality of packages into a single stacked package are disclosed. The methods may include use of somewhat laterally extending intermediate conductive elements, flip-chip style electrical connection, or both within the same package.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the invention is a system comprising a first component that generates heat, and a second component that is thermally connected to the first component, wherein the heat from the first component is transferred to a coolant through the second component, and the second component has a function in the computer system associated with an operation of the system other than transferring heat.
Abstract:
A multichip module is provided. The multichip module comprises a rigid substrate including a core material and having an opening, a thin film fixed on an upper surface of the rigid substrate so as to be electrically connected to the rigid substrate and to close the opening, a first chip mounted on the upper surface of the thin film, and a second chip mounted on the under surface of the thin film so as to be located in the opening of the rigid substrate. The rigid substrate and the thin film form a wiring substrate having a composite structure.
Abstract:
Memory modules without signal-conditioning devices (unbuffered, unregistered) are provided in a system by using adapter cards that have signal-conditioning devices and are then operated in the manner of memory modules with signal-conditioning devices (buffered, registered). Systems can thereby be expanded in a very simple manner and can be flexibly adapted according to requirements, and for this purpose only one type (unbuffered, unregistered) of memory module is required.
Abstract:
An assembly (for example, an assembly in the form of an interposer that is distinct from a motherboard and from the devices that communicate with the motherboard) includes electromagnetic couplings. Each of the electromagnetic couplings couples signals being communicated between a device and a bus. Each of the electromagnetic couplings is connected to (a) an associated bus connector to provide connections of the couplings to the bus, and (b) an associated device connector to provide connections of the couplings to the device.
Abstract:
A system for delivering power to a processor enables a DC-to-DC converter substrate to be secured to the processor carrier in the Z-axis direction. The ability to assemble the converter to the processor in this way facilitates assembly compared to systems in which the converter is plugged in to the processor carrier in the direction substantially parallel to the surface of the motherboard.
Abstract:
The adapter couples a power module to a circuit board. An adapter embodying the present invention can be configured to allow the connection of any power module regardless of pin out to any circuit board. Signal modifying circuitry can also be added to the adapter to enhance or simply modify the signal to the end user's circuit board. The modifying circuitry can act on either the input to the adapter or the output from the adapter. At least one conductive path couples the input interconnects and the output interconnects.
