    Abstract: A registered memory module includes several memory devices coupled to a register through a plurality of transmission lines forming a symmetrical tree topology. The tree includes several branches each of which includes two transmission lines coupled only at its ends to either another transmission line or one of the memory devices. The branches are arranged in several layers of hierarchy, with the transmission lines in branches having the same hierarchy having the same length. Each transmission line preferably has a characteristic impedance that is half the characteristic impedance of any pair of downstream transmission lines to which it is coupled to provide impedance matching. A dedicated transmission line is used to couple an additional memory device, which may or may not be an error checking memory device, to the register.

The memory module includes a plurality of tabs located in one side of the front and in one side on the rear of the memory module, for being interconnected by a connector on a system board, a plurality of vias for connecting two different signal layers of the memory module, and a plurality of data buses extended from the tabs on the front of the memory module to the tabs on the rear of the memory module through each of the vias. At least one memory device is connected to each of the data buses. Preferably, each of the data buses is formed to be perpendicular to one side of the memory module on which the tabs are formed.

    Abstract: A memory module has improved signal propagation delays for signals externally driven such as from a motherboard. Reflections from junctions of wiring traces on the memory module are reduced or eliminated. An input buffer or register receives a signal from the motherboard and splits the signal to drive two outputs to two separate traces. Each trace is enlarged in width or thickness, such as by using a double-width wiring trace. At the fare end of each double-width trace, a junction is made to two minimum-width traces that connect to small stub traces to DRAM inputs. Reflections from the junction are eliminated or reduced by trace-impedance matching, since the input impedance of the double-width trace from the input buffer is about the same as the combined impedance of the two minimum-width traces. Trace-input matching and input buffering can improve signal integrity and overall propagation delay.
