    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. 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 flex circuit populated with integrated circuits on one or both sides and in one or more fields along the flex circuitry is wrapped about an edge of a supporting substrate. One side of the flex circuitry has a connective facility implemented in a preferred embodiment with edge connector contacts such as those that would allow the resulting module to be connected to an expansion socket. In a preferred embodiment, integrated circuits (preferably memory CSPs) and any accompanying circuitry or buffers are arranged on one or both sides of a flexible circuit. In some embodiments, one or more thermal sensors or other indicators are thermally coupled to the module substrate. In some embodiments that employ a metallic material substrate with extensions, the ICs of the module have exhibited reduced temperature variations when compared to like capacity DIMMs devised according to the well known planar strategy.

    Abstract: Modules with larger areas for device mounting but minimized profiles are provided. In preferred embodiments, modules that employ one or more flex circuits have sculpted supportive substrates to selectively accommodate larger or taller profile devices. In several preferred embodiments, higher profile circuits such as AMBs, for example, are disposed in what are, in a preferred embodiment, windows, pockets, or cutaway areas in the substrate. In other preferred embodiments, both the substrate and the flexible circuitry have openings into which a device of greater profile such as, for example, an AMB or a logic device with or without a resident heat sink are provided with a volume to occupy without adding the full profile of the taller device to the profile of the module itself.

    Abstract: Flexible circuitry is populated on one or both sides with integrated circuits (ICs) each of which ICs has an IC profile (height). A substantially flat, windowed fixture with a fixture profile less than the IC profiles of the ICs is applied over an IC-populated side of the flexible circuitry causing at least a part of the ICs to emerge from respective fixture windows. Material is removed simultaneously from that portion of the ICs that emerge from the windows to result in lower-profile ICs which, in a preferred embodiment exhibit profiles substantially coincident with the fixture profile established by the upper surface of the fixture. The method is used to advantage in devising circuit modules by disposing the flexible circuitry about a rigid substrate to form the circuit module with a low profile. Some embodiments use substrates that are windowed or have inset areas into which the lower profile CSPs may be set to reach profile requirements.

    Abstract: A packaging system for a high current, low voltage power supply. The power supply uses bare die power FETs which are directly mounted to a thermally conductive substrate by a solder attachment made to the drain electrode metallization on the back side of the FETs. The source electrode and gate electrode of each FET are coupled to the circuitry on an overhanging printed circuit board, using CSP solder balls affixed to the front side of the FET die. The heat generated by the FETs is effectively dissipated by the close coupling of the FETs to the thermally conductive underlying substrate. High interconnect densities are achieved through the use of a multilayer printed circuit board. This high interconnect density, with the addition of a magnetic core element, allows the power supply packaging system to incorporate transformer windings for an isolation transformer or an inductor.

    Abstract: A switching device for controlling a large amount of current includes a circuit board carrying electronic components thereon, a power-switching element electrically connected to the circuit board, and a housing disposed underneath the circuit board and containing the power-switching element therein. The housing made of a heat-conductive material includes a heat-sink block having a sloped surface on which the power-switching element is mounted. Connecting leads extending from the power-switching element are positioned at an upper portion of the sloped surface which is close to the circuit board. In this manner, the length of connecting leads is shortened and heat and noises generated therein are suppressed.
