Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for circuit board structures for component protection are described. A memory system may be implemented on a circuit board, where one or more memory devices may be attached to the circuit board. Components for accessing the one or more memory devices may also be attached to the circuit board. The circuit board may also include one or more structures extending from the circuit board that are configured to shield the one or more memory devices, the components for accessing the one or more memory devices, or both, from forces.
Claims25
An apparatus, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a memory device coupled with the circuit board;
- components for accessing the memory device that are coupled with the circuit board;
- and
- a structure extending from the circuit board and configured to shield the memory device, the components for accessing the memory device, or both, from impact.
A method of manufacture, comprising:
- forming a circuit board that comprises a first area for a memory device and a second area for a set of components associated with the memory device;
- configuring a third area of the circuit board to support one or more structures for protecting the memory device, the set of components for accessing the memory device, or both, from impact;
- and
- attaching, to the circuit board, the memory device in the first area and the set of components for accessing the memory device in the second area.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a memory device coupled with the circuit board;
- components for accessing the memory device that are coupled with the circuit board;
- a first structure extending from the circuit board;
- a second structure extending from the circuit board;
- and
- a label coupled with the first structure and the second structure, wherein the label covers the memory device, the components for accessing the memory device or both.
