Memory card

A memory card comprising:

• a substrate;
• a first flash memory chip mounted over said substrate;
• a controller chip for said first flash memory chip mounted over said substrate;
• a card body covering said substrate, said first flash memory chip and said controller chip;
• wherein said memory card is capable of being connected to an adapter,
• wherein planar dimensions of said memory card without said adapter are smaller than the dimensions (32 mm×24 mm) and are set to the dimensions (32 mm×24 mm) when connected to said adapter, and
• wherein a planar area of said first flash memory chip is larger than that of said controller chip.

A memory card comprising:

• a substrate;
• a first flash memory chip mounted over said substrate;
• a controller chip for said first flash memory chip mounted over said substrate;
• a card body covering said substrate, said first flash memory chip and said controller chip;
• wherein said memory card is capable of being attached to an adapter,
• wherein a planar size of said memory card without said adapter is smaller than that of a full-size memory card defined by the multi media card standard or the SD card standard,
• wherein a planar size of said memory card, when attached to said adapter, is equivalent to that of a full-size memory card defined by the multi media card standard or the SD card standard, and
• wherein a planar size of said flash memory chip is larger than that of said controller chip.

A memory card comprising:

• a substrate;
• a plurality of flash memory chips mounted over said substrate;
• a controller chip for said flash memory chips mounted over said substrate;
• a card body covering said substrate, said flash memory chips and said controller chip;
• wherein said memory card is capable of being connected to an adapter,
• wherein planar dimensions of said memory card without said adapter are smaller than the dimensions (32 mm×24 mm) and are set to the dimensions (32 mm×24 mm) when connected to said adapter, and
• wherein a planar area of a first flash memory chip of said plurality is larger than that of said controller chip.
