CONNECTION DESIGNS FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17815917 titled 'CONNECTION DESIGNS FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for connection designs for memory systems are described in this patent application. The memory system includes a package and a printed circuit board (PCB). The package's interface is connected to the PCB through a set of springs, where each spring is made of a material that can deform based on the shape of the package, the shape of the PCB, or both. Additionally, the memory system includes a set of latches that secure the package in a fixed position relative to the PCB. The set of springs provides an electrical connection between the package and the PCB, while the set of latches provides a mechanical connection between them. The package, PCB, or both, may have connection structures to receive the latches.
- Memory system with a package and a PCB
- Interface of the package connected to the PCB via a set of springs
- Springs made of deformable material based on the shape of the package and/or PCB
- Set of latches secures the package in a fixed position relative to the PCB
- Springs provide electrical connection, latches provide mechanical connection
- Package, PCB, or both, have connection structures to receive the latches
Potential Applications
- Memory systems in electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.
- Any application requiring a secure and reliable connection between a package and a PCB
Problems Solved
- Ensures a secure and stable connection between the package and the PCB
- Prevents disconnection or misalignment due to external forces or vibrations
- Provides an efficient electrical connection between the package and the PCB
Benefits
- Improved reliability and durability of memory systems
- Reduces the risk of connection failure or data loss
- Simplifies the assembly and maintenance of memory systems
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for connection designs for memory systems are described. A memory system may include a package and a printed circuit board (PCB). An interface of the package may be coupled with the PCB via a set of springs, where each spring may include a material configured to deform based at least in part on a shape of the package, a shape of the PCB, or both. The memory system may also include a set of latches that may secure the package in a fixed position relative to the PCB. That is, the set of springs may provide an electrical connection between the package and the PCB, and the set of latches may provide a mechanical connection between the package and the PCB. In some examples, the package, the PCB, or both, may include one or more connection structures configured to receive the latches.
