    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: Multiple fully buffered DIMM circuits or instantiations are presented in a single module. In a preferred embodiment, memory integrated circuits (preferably CSPs) and accompanying AMBs 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 FB-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.

    Abstract: Flexible circuitry is populated with integrated circuitry disposed along one or both of its major sides. Contacts distributed along the flexible circuitry provide connection between the module and an application environment. The circuit-populated flexible circuitry is disposed about an edge of a rigid substrate thus placing the integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate with one or two layers of integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate. The substrate form is preferably devised from thermally conductive materials and includes a high thermal conductivity core or area that is disposed proximal to higher thermal energy devices such as an AMB when the flex circuit is brought about the substrate. Other variations include thermally-conductive clips that grasp respective ICs on opposite sides of the module to further shunt heat from the ICs. Preferred extensions from the substrate body or substrate core encourage reduced thermal variations amongst the integrated circuits of the module.

    Abstract: Memory module flex circuitry is devised to accommodate packaged integrated circuit devices (ICs) of varying heights or thicknesses. The invention may be employed to advantage in a variety of modules that employ flex circuitry including, but not limited to, fully-buffered, registered or more simple memory modules. Many such modules may replace conventionally-constructed DIMMs without change to the system in which the module is employed. Regions of the flex circuitry devised to provide one or more mounting locales for ICs are delineated, in part, from the main body of the flex circuit. The delineation may be implemented in a preferred embodiment by separating a designated IC mounting area or peninsula from the main body of the flex circuitry either with isolating areas or separations or with tabs that extend from the primary perimeter of the flex circuitry.
