Abstract
A Rambus in-line memory module may be adapted for the smaller board size used for example with portable computers. By using wrong-way routing, the routing can be achieved in a small size while matching impedance between the routings. By grouping signals on one side of the module's printed circuit board and ground and power supplies contacts on another side of the board, performance may be improved.
Claims12
A Rambus in-line memory module comprising:
- a board;
- a memory mounted on said board;
- an edge connector on said board, said connector having a length;
- and
- a plurality of routes extending from said connector over said board to said memory, said routes extending around said board from said connector in a first direction along the length of the connector and then turning back and extending along the length of the connector in substantially the opposite direction.
