    摘要: A solid-state drive architecture and arrangement for standardized disk drive form factors, PCI type memory cards and general motherboard memory. The solid-state drive architecture is modular in that a main printed circuit board (PCB) of the memory system includes a host interface connector, a memory controller, and connectors. Each connector can removably receive a memory blade, where each memory blade includes a plurality of memory devices serially connected to each other via a serial interface. Each memory blade includes a physical serial interface for providing data and control signals to a first memory device in the serial chain and for receiving data and control signals from a last memory device in the serial chain. Each memory blade can be sized in length and width to accommodate any number of memory devices on either side thereof.

    摘要: A memory controller of a data storage device, which communicates with a host, is configurable to have at least two different pinout assignments for interfacing with respective different types of memory devices. Each pinout assignment corresponds to a specific memory interface protocol. Each memory interface port of the memory controller includes port buffer circuitry configurable for different functional signal assignments, based on the selected memory interface protocol to be used. The interface circuitry configuration for each memory interface port is selectable by setting a predetermined port or registers of the memory controller.

    摘要: A method, system and apparatus for connecting multiple memory device dies 51-54 to a substrate 56 which requires no trace between dies. A first embodiment assigns the connections of a memory device die 51 to be matched with other memory device dies 52-54 when mounted in staggered formation on the both sides of a substrate. The result is a daisy chained array connecting multiple integrated circuits with reduced capacitive loading. The capacitive loadings on the buses 57,58 between memory device dies 51,52,53 are reduced. The number of vias 57,58,59 is reduced because two stubs on the both sides of the substrate share one via. Another embodiment FIG. 7 arranges the dies in a closed loop.

    摘要: A system includes a memory controller and a plurality of semiconductor devices that are series-connected. Each of the devices has memory core for storing data. The memory controller provides a clock signal for synchronizing the operations of the devices. Each device includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) that is selectively enabled or disabled by a PLL enable signal. In each group, the PLLs of a selected number of devices are enabled by PLL enable signals and the other devices are disabled. The enabled PLL provides a plurality of reproduced clock signals with a phase shift of a multiple of 90° in response to an input clock signal. The data transfer is synchronized with at least one of the reproduced clock signals. In the devices of disabled PLLs, the data transfer is synchronized with the input clock signal. The enabled PLL and disabled PLL cause the devices to be the source and the common synchronous clocking, respectively. The devices can be grouped. The devices of one group can be structured by multiple chip packages.
