Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to interfaces between memory modules and circuit boards. More specifically, this disclosure relates to interfaces for coupling a memory module to a circuit board such that the memory module is arranged in a plane that is substantially parallel with a plane of the circuit board. Various embodiments disclosed herein include interfaces, memory modules including interfaces or portions of interfaces, and/or circuit boards including interfaces and/or portions of interfaces. Associated devices and systems are also disclosed.
Claims22
A device, comprising:
- a server comprising:
- a card comprising:
- a circuit board, a first major surface of the circuit board substantially in a first plane;
- and
- a memory module electrically coupled to the circuit board at a socket on a first side of the memory module, the first side of the memory module substantially perpendicular to a second major surface of the memory module in a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane.
(canceled)
(canceled)
A device, comprising:
- a circuit board, a first major surface of the circuit board in a first plane, a processor on the first major surface of the circuit board;
- and
- a memory module electrically coupled to the circuit board via first electrically conductive lines, a second major surface of the memory module in a second plane parallel to the first plane, and a portion of the memory module extending in a direction at least substantially parallel to the first plane;
- and
- a support member extending between the second major surface of the memory module and the first major surface of the circuit board, the support member physically secured to the memory module and the circuit board.
(canceled)
A device, comprising:
- a circuit board having a first major surface in a first plane;
- a processor on the first major surface of the circuit board;
- and
- a memory module having a second major surface in a second plane extending substantially parallel to the first plane, the memory module electrically coupled to the circuit board at least by way of conductive pad positioned between a second side of the memory module substantially perpendicular to the second major surface of the memory module and a first side of the circuit board substantially perpendicular to the first major surface of the circuit board.
