Memory modules and methods for manufacturing memory modules are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory module includes a substrate, a microelectronic device carried by the substrate, and a plurality of external contact pads operably coupled to the microelectronic device. The substrate includes a first major surface with a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge. The external contact pads are disposed on the first major surface proximate to the second longitudinal edge. The contact pads include a first contact pad with a first end proximate to the second longitudinal edge and a second contact pad with a second end proximate to the second longitudinal edge. The first end is spaced apart from the first longitudinal edge by a first distance, and the second end is spaced apart from the first longitudinal edge by a second distance different than the first distance.

A semiconductor memory module includes an electronic printed circuit board with a contact strip and a plurality of semiconductor memory chips of identical type that are mounted on at least one external area of the printed circuit board. The semiconductor memory chips are rectangular in shape and are arranged, in at least two rows with the adjacent chips being oriented perpendicular to one another, such that the area used on the PC board is optimized.
Abstract:
A flexible print cable includes signal lines and ground lines. The signal lines and the ground lines are disposed alternately on each of an upper surface and an under surface of a film. The positions of the signal lines on the upper surface correspond to the positions of the ground lines on the under surface. The positions of the signal lines on the under surface correspond to the positions of the ground lines on the upper surface. The ground lines are wider than the signal lines. An edge part of one of the ground lines on the upper surface in a width direction overlaps a part of one of the ground lines on the under surface. Another edge part of the ground line on the upper surface in the width direction overlaps a part of another one of the ground lines on the under surface.
Abstract:
A highly compact inductor formed on opposite faces of a dielectric substrate. Sets of parallel spaced conductive traces formed on the opposite faces of the substrate are interconnected by metallized vias through the substrate, in such a way as to form a continuous spiral conductive path. The inductor is preferably formed as two closely adjacent segments, each with conductive traces on each face of the substrate and each having metallized vias interconnecting the conductive traces. The segments are electrically connected in series and produce a magnetic field that extends through each segment in opposite directions and is closely coupled from one segment to the other. The inductor is, therefore, electromagnetically similar to a wire-wound toroidal inductor, providing high inductance and contourable Q values, but is highly compact, especially in the z-axis direction normal to the substrate.
Abstract:
A laminated electronic component including at least one inductance element and produced from a laminate having electrical insulators and electrical conductors laminated alternately. The inductance element is formed as a helical coil having a plurality of turns each constituted by four sides. The inductance element has pairs of parallel conductor pieces and pairs of bridging conductor pieces. Each pair of parallel conductor pieces form two of the four sides of one turn of the coil. Each pair of bridging conductor pieces form the other two sides of one turn of the coil. Grooves are formed in the laminate to thereby form the parallel conductor pieces. The grooves are filled with an electrically insulating material. The bridging conductor pieces are formed on the electrically insulating material.

The first and second layouts have opposite first and second chip mounting region patterns.

Embodiments of the present invention may include an integrated circuit module structure for a high-density mounting. An embodiment may include a wiring board, having a mounting space with a mounting length determined in a first direction and a mounting width determined in a second direction, on at least one surface thereof, and a plurality of integrated circuit packages having a package mounting combination length longer than the mounting length of the wiring board. An embodiment may also have some packages among the plurality of integrated circuit packages mounted directly on the mounting space, while other packages are mounted indirectly on the mounting space. The present embodiment may have packages that are overlapped horizontally and vertically distant from one another. Embodiments allow a plurality of chips or packages to be mounted in a limited area without changing a form factor of integrated circuit module even when integrated circuit chip or package size increases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the methods of construction for inductive components of, preferably, ferromagnetic materials such as inductors, chokes, and transformers when used as an integral part of the fabrication of PCB's or FLEX's. In one preferred embodiment, holes are formed through a ferromagnetic substrate and plated with conductive material. The arrangement of these holes, and the subsequent design that ensues, will form the inductive components within the plane of the media in which the device is formed; using the substrate for a magnetic core. By using this approach, the inductive components can be miniaturized to physical sizes compatible with the requirements of modem surface mount technology (SMT) for integrated circuitry (IC). This process also allows these components to be fabricated using mass production techniques, thereby avoiding the need to handle discrete devices during the manufacturing process. In another preferred embodiment, a series of thin, concentric high permeability rings are etched on a substrate to provide high permeability transformers and inductors having minimal eddy current effects.
Abstract:
The respective ends of input wiring on a printed wiring board of a signal transmission circuit are connected to an input terminal section and a transistor. One terminal of a first capacitor and a first resistor are respectively connected to the input wiring. A leading-side transmission path from a connection point with the first capacitor to a connection point with the input terminal section is formed by only a conductive pattern. An intermediate transmission path from the connection point with the first capacitor to a connection point with the first resistor includes two or more through holes or via holes. The intermediate transmission path is placed near grounding wiring on the printed wiring board. When one terminal of a second capacitor is connected to the intermediate transmission path, a transmission path between the respective connection points with the two capacitors includes one or more through holes or via holes.
