    Abstract: Multiple DIMM circuits or instantiations are presented in a single module. In some embodiments, memory integrated circuits (preferably CSPs) and accompanying AMBs, or accompanying memory registers, are arranged in two ranks in two fields on each side of a flexible circuit. The flexible circuit has expansion contacts disposed along one side. The flexible circuit is disposed about a supporting substrate or board to place one complete DIMM circuit or instantiation on each side of the constructed module. In alternative but also preferred embodiments, the ICs on the side of the flexible circuit closest to the substrate are disposed, at least partially, in what are, in a preferred embodiment, windows, pockets, or cutaway areas in the substrate. Other embodiments may only populate one side of the flexible circuit or may only remove enough substrate material to reduce but not eliminate the entire substrate contribution to overall profile. The flexible circuit may exhibit one or two or more conductive layers, and may have changes in the layered structure or have split layers. Other embodiments may stagger or offset the ICs or include greater numbers of ICs.

    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board using a lead-free solder is to be fixed within a disk enclosure while ensuring a high rigidity. In one embodiment, a rotating disk storage device comprises a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), wherein there is formed a wiring pattern including a signal line for the transmission of a signal of data read by a head in an actuator head suspension assembly (AHSA) and wherein one side end portion is fixed to a base and an opposite side end portion is fixed to the AHSA. A first metallic plate and a second metallic plate are both fixed to one side end portion of the FPC. A connector is disposed in an area where the first metallic plate in the FPC is provided, and connected to the wiring pattern. A shock sensor is disposed in an area where the second metallic plate in the FPC is provided, and connected to the wiring pattern. A reinforcing plate of a synthetic resin is, in an opposed state of the first and second metallic plates fixed to one side end portion of the FPC, held between the opposed faces of both metallic plates and is fixed to the base together with both metallic plates.

    Abstract: With the use of stacked modules, a system and method for point to point addressing of multiple integrated memory circuits is provided. A single memory expansion board is populated with stacked modules of integrated circuits. The single memory expansion board is located at the terminus of a transmission line, thus, effectively placing at a relative single point in the addressing system, added memory capacity that would otherwise have required multiple memory expansion boards and, consequently, a longer bus. Therefore, signal degradation issues are mitigated and the system has improved tolerance for higher signal speeds with added memory capacity. In a preferred embodiment, a four DIMM socket memory access bus that does not employ stacking is replaced with a single DIMM socket bus that supports stacking up to four high on a single DIMM. Although the present invention is preferably employed to advantage using stacked modules comprised from multiple CSPs, it may be employed with modules comprised from any number and type of integrated circuits including any type of packaging, whether CSP or leaded.
