    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for conductive memory module notch and connector-to-motherboard pins for power or ground. A memory module includes a conductive notch that is coupled to either one or more ground planes in respective layers in the memory module's PCB or to a power rail formed on one or more layers in the PCB. A memory module connector includes a notch pin that is configured to mate with the conductive notch when the memory module is installed in the connector. The connector is mounted to a motherboard or the like and the notch pin is coupled to either power (e.g., Vin) or ground in the motherboard. When coupled to power, Vin is supplied to the memory module via the notch pin/conductive notch. When coupled to ground on the motherboard, at least a portion of the ground planes in the PCB are coupled to ground via the notch pin/conductive notch.

    Abstract: Compression Attached Memory Module (CAMM) connector pin with multi-spring (dual bend direction) levers and associated connectors. The connector pin comprises an upper cantilevered spring member coupled to an upper portion of a body and a lower cantilevered spring member coupled to a lower portion of the body. Each of the upper and lower cantilevered spring members include at least one forward bending lever and a backward bending lever. The upper cantilevered spring member may have a pair of arms merging to form an upper unified spring member having a nose and looping backwards over the arms and having an apex. A lower cantilevered spring may have a pair of legs merging to form a lower unified spring member having a nose and looping backwards under the legs and having a bottom. When compressed the forward and backward bending levers counteract one another in the horizontal plane, reducing horizontal displacement.

    Abstract: Memory on Package (MOP) apparatus with reverse CAMM (Compression Attached Memory Module) and compression mount technology (CMT) connector(s). The MOP includes a first (MOP) substrate to which one or more CPUs, SoC, and XPUs that is operatively coupled to one or more CAMMs with a CMT connector(s) disposed between an array of CMT contact pads on the CAMM substrate and an array of CMT contact pad on the substrate. The one or more CAMMs are include multiple memory chips or packages such as LP DDR chips or DDR (S)DRAM chips/packages mounted to an underside of the CAMM substrate via signal coupling means such as a ball grid array (BGA), where the CAMM orientation is inverted such that the memory chips/packages are disposed downward, resulting in a reduced Z-height of the MOP. A MOP may include two CAMMs with a respective CMT connector disposed between the CAMM substrates and the MOP substrate.

    Abstract: Power conversion modules using compression mount technology (CMT) connectors and associated apparatus and methods. Assemblies include a CMT connector that includes an array of spring-loaded CMT pins or contacts that are configured to contact respective pads on a pair of printed circuit board (PCBs), such as for VR module card or power conversion module and a motherboard. The power conversion modules in combination with the CMT connectors provide several advantages, including, a common VR module/power conversion module/motherboard footprint across OEM platforms and test hardware, just in time VR module attachment for improved inventory management, removable power delivery solution makes the platform more conducive to debug, in field servicing, and platform upgradable for higher power CPU/GPU/XPU.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for GDDR (Graphics Double Date Rate) memory expander using compression mount technology (CMT) connectors. A CMT connector with a dedicated pinout for GDDR-based memory is provided that enables end users and manufacturers to change the amount of GDDR memory provided with a GPU card, accelerator card, or apparatus having other form factors. Memory could also be replaced in the event of a failure. In addition, embodiments are disclosed that support a split channel concept where there could be multiple devices (e.g., GDDR modules) with dedicated signals routed to each module.
