    Abstract: A circuit board configured to provide multiple interfaces is disclosed. The circuit board comprises a termination slot inserted with a termination module configured to modulate circuits by applying a termination resistance and a termination voltage. If the termination module is inserted into the termination slot, the circuit board operates as a series stub terminated transceiver logic (SSTL) interface. Otherwise, the board operates as a low voltage transistor logic (LVTTL) interface. Additionally, the board comprises a switch configured to selectively connect a termination resistance to a bus. If the switch connects the termination resistance to the bus, the board operates as an SSTL interface. Otherwise, the board operates as an LVTTL interface.

    Abstract: A memory address driver circuit with memory module slots on a computer main board that can be divided into two groups. One group of memory module slots includes the slots whose trace line to a control chipset is smaller than 2500 mils or closest to the control chipset. The other group of memory module slots includes all the remaining slots. The control chipset includes two memory control circuits. The memory control circuit for supporting DDR DRAM is connected to the address leads of the memory module slot closest to the control chipset. However, no terminal resistors are connected to any address leads of the memory module slot. Hence, engineers may have to design one set of terminal resistors only. In addition, the memory control circuit uses one-cycle access command timing to boost system performance.

    Abstract: A high frequency bus system which insures uniform arrival times of high-fidelity signals to the devices on the high frequency bus, despite the use of the bus on modules and connectors. A high frequency bus system includes a first bus segment having one or more devices connected between a first and a second end. The first bus segment has at least a pair of transmission lines for propagating high frequency signals and the devices are coupled to the pair of transmission lines. The high frequency bus system also includes a second bus segment which has no devices connected to it. The second bus segment also has at least a pair of transmission lines for propagating high frequency signals. The first end of the first segment and second end of the second segment are coupled in series to form a chain of segments and when two signals are introduced to the first end of the second bus segment at the substantially the same time, they arrive at each device connected to the first bus segment at substantially the same time. Also, when two signals originate at a device connected to the first bus segment at substantially the same time, they arrive at the first end of the second bus segment at substantially the same time. Uniform arrival times hold despite the use of connectors to couple the segments together, despite the segments being located on modules, without the need for stubs, despite the presence of routing turns in the segments and despite the type of information, such as address, data or control, carried by the signals.

    Abstract: A circuit board such as a memory module board mounts a plurality of memory modules that are electrically connected to a module bus on a first surface of the board. The module bus is coupled to a connector at a first end thereof that permits an electrical coupling of a plurality of electrical conductors of the module bus to an external large integrated circuit board, and a terminating resistor device at a second end thereof for properly terminating predetermined ones of the plurality of electrical conductors of the module bus. The module bus is extended beyond the last memory module along the bus by a length which is sufficient to substantially limit reflections and/or crosstalk between the conductors and thereby improve signaling along the module bus. In a first embodiment, the module bus is extended around an edge of the board and for a predetermined distance over any unused portions of the backside of the board. In a second embodiment, the module bus is extended for a maximum predetermined distance along any unused portions of the front side of the board when the backside of the board is unavailable for extending the module bus.
