摘要： High integration of a non-volatile memory device (NVMD) is disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a non-volatile memory device comprises an intelligent non-volatile memory (NVM) controller and an intelligent non-volatile memory module. The NVM controller includes a central processing unit (CPU) configured to handle data transfer operations to the NVM module to ensure source synchronous interface, interleaved data operations and block abstracted addressing. The intelligent NVM module includes an interface logic, a block address manager and at least one non-volatile memory array. The interface logic is configured to handle physical block management. The block address manager is configured to ensure a physical address is converted to a transformed address that is accessible to the CPU of the intelligent NVM controller. The transformed address may be an address in blocks, pages, sectors or bytes either logically or physically.

摘要： A low-profile Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) device includes a PCBA in which all passive components and unpackaged IC chips are attached to a single side of a PCB opposite to the metal contacts. The IC chips include, for example, a USB controller chip and a flash memory chip, or a single-chip (combined USB controller/flash memory) chip. Multiple flash IC chips are optionally stacked to increase storage capacity. The IC chip(s) are attached to the PCB by wire bonding or other chip-on-board (COB) technique. The passive components are attached by conventional surface mount technology (SMT) techniques. A molded housing is then formed over the IC chips and passive components such that the device has a uniform thickness. The low-profile USB device is optionally used as a modular insert that is mounted onto a metal case to provide a USB assembly having a plug shell similar to a standard USB male connector.

摘要： A socket having thirteen contact springs arranged in a manner that supports existing MMC and SD form factors, and also supports a combination SD/MMC flash memory card. The combination memory card includes a PCB assembly that is consistent with existing 13-pad MMC mechanical form factors, and a housing that is consistent with the SD mechanical form factor, thereby providing a single PCBA and housing arrangement that can be used to produce both MMC and SD memory cards. The thirteen contact pads support all MMC and SD contact pad patterns, but are modified to facilitate a write protect switch. The contacts springs of the socket are arranged to make contact with the modified pad pattern, but to also be backward compatible with existing SD and MMC form factors. A system including the socket and combination SD/MMC flash memory card is also disclosed.
