Abstract
A thermal islanding heatsink (a monolithic heat sink that includes a thermal insulating barrier is provided within a memory sub-system. The memory sub-system can be a solid state drive that can include a memory device, such as a volatile memory device and/or a non-volatile memory device, a power regulation area, and/or a controller. The thermal insulating barrier is deployed between the memory device and the power regulation area or between the memory device and the controller.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory device coupled to a first area of a circuit board;
- a power regulation area coupled to a second area of the circuit board;
- and
- a thermal insulating barrier deployed between the memory device and the power regulation area.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a controller coupled to the PCB;
- a memory device area including non-volatile memory devices and volatile memory devices coupled to the PCB;
- a power regulation area coupled to the PCB;
- and
- a thermal insulating barrier coupled to the PCB, wherein the thermal insulating barrier is deployed between the controller, the power regulation area, and the memory device area.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory sub-system, the memory sub-system comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a controller;
- a power regulation area;
- a non-volatile memory device;
- a volatile memory device;
- a heat sink;
- and
- a thermal insulating barrier, wherein the thermal insulating barrier is formed through at least a portion of the heat sink to separate a first physical contact point with the controller, a second physical contact point with the power regulation area, and a third physical contact point with at least one of the non-volatile memory device and the volatile memory device.
