In a memory module for a memory configuration having a bus system made up of a plurality of signal lines, each signal line has respectively been produced essentially without any stub continuously from a supplying contact device to a discharging contact device, disposed close to the supplying contact device, in order to increase a maximum data transmission rate within the memory configuration. Between the supplying contact device and the discharging contact device, each of the signal lines is routed in succession at minimum distances via connection elements associated with the signal line on memory chips associated with the signal line.

Memory modules without signal-conditioning devices (unbuffered, unregistered) are provided in a system by using adapter cards that have signal-conditioning devices and are then operated in the manner of memory modules with signal-conditioning devices (buffered, registered). Systems can thereby be expanded in a very simple manner and can be flexibly adapted according to requirements, and for this purpose only one type (unbuffered, unregistered) of memory module is required.

The invention relates to a semiconductor memory module having a plurality of memory chips arranged in at least one row and at least one buffer chip which drives and receives clock signals and command and address signals to the memory chips and data signals to and from the memory chips via a clock, address, command and data bus inside the module and which forms an interface to an external primary memory bus. The semiconductor memory module has an even number of buffer chips arranged on it and all of the memory chips are connected to two respective buffer chips at least by one signal line type from a signal group and just to one of the two buffer chips by the remaining signal lines from the group. The sum of the electrical signal propagation times for the actuating signals via their lines from one buffer chip to a respective one of the memory chips and the electrical signal propagation times for the data signals from this memory chip to the other buffer chip during the read operation is the same for all of the memory chips, and control means for controlling the respective data write and read operation to or from the memory chips are provided in order to drive the clock signals and command and address signals in the same respective direction as the data signals via the bus inside the module when data are being written and read.

Contact elements of a plug-in mount are connected in an electrically conducting manner to conductive contact zones on a surface of a substrate after the plug-in mount has been loaded with a switching assembly and are electrically isolated from the signal lines in the unloaded state. Therefore, higher clock rates for the signals transmitted on the signal lines are made possible in not completely expanded systems having empty mounting locations.

The invention relates to a semiconductor memory module having a plurality of memory chips and at least one buffer chip, which drives clock signals and command and address signals to the memory chips and also drives data signals to, and receives them from, the memory chips via a module-internal clock, address, command and data signal bus. The buffer chip forms an interface to an external memory main bus and the memory chips are arranged in at least one row. The memory chips have separate writing and reading clock signal inputs for receiving the clock signals and the clock signal lines are routed in at least one loop, via the memory chips, from the buffer chip to the end of each row and from there back to the buffer chip
摘要:
The invention relates to a semiconductor memory module having a plurality of memory chips arranged next to one another in a row. The memory module has a module-internal clock, command/address and data bus which transfers clock signal, command and address signals and also data signals from a memory controller device to the memory chips and data signals from the memory chips to the memory controller device. The memory module has respective clock, command/address and data signal lines. The clock signal lines comprise two differential clock signal lines which, at their end opposite to the memory controller device are either open or connected to one another by a short-circuiting bridge. The memory chips, during a write operation, synchronize the write data with the clock signal running from the memory controller device to the end of the clock signal line and, during a read operation, output the read data synchronously with the clock signal reflected from the open or short-circuited end of the clock signal lines.

The invention relates to a semiconductor memory module having at least one memory chip and a buffer chip, which drives clock, address and command signals to the memory chip and drives data signals to, and receives them from, the memory chip via a module-internal clock, address, command and data bus. The buffer chip forms an interface to an external memory main bus. The data bus lines and/or the clock, command and address bus lines are respectively connected to the buffer chip at their two ends and are capable of being driven by the buffer chip from these two ends. Control means are being provided and set up in such a manner that they respectively match the directions of propagation of the data signals and of the clock, command and address signals on the corresponding bus lines during writing and reading.
摘要:
A memory system is functionally designed so that, despite operation without an error correction device, memory chips of a memory module that are actually provided for error correction are concomitantly used for the data transfer. A control device is configured to receive, store and transfer data packets to and from a first and second set of memory chips. Transfer of an internal packet data from the control device to memory takes place such that a first record is stored in a second set of memory chips and additional records are stored in the first set of memory chips. In preferred embodiments, data is allocated in the second set of memory chips such that at least one additional transfer step takes place to the second set of memory chips compared with transfers to the first set of memory chips. In the additional transfer step(s), the first set of memory chips is masked from receiving data.

An integrated device comprising a storage location, wherein data stored in the storage location is repeatedly refreshed with a first predetermined refresh rate during a first period of time. The first period of time provides a first predetermined duration. After the end of the first period of time, the data is repeatedly refreshed with a second predetermined refresh rate.
