PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD COMPRISING MEMORY, AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18601348 titled 'PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD COMPRISING MEMORY, AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF
The abstract describes a printed circuit board with multiple printed board assemblies (PBAs) and an interface to connect them to an external device. The interface has terminals arranged in N*M and N*K arrays, with some terminals electrically connected to each PBA. Each PBA includes volatile memory, nonvolatile memory, and at least one processor.
- The PBAs are designed to transmit parameter signals, store boot-loader data in volatile memory, and store binary data in nonvolatile memory in response to signals received from the interface terminals.
- The interface facilitates communication between the PBAs and the external device, enabling data transfer and storage functions.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various electronic devices that require efficient data transfer and storage capabilities. - It can be applied in industrial automation systems, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining data transfer processes within a printed circuit board assembly. - Enhancing the efficiency and reliability of data storage in volatile and nonvolatile memory.
Benefits: - Improved performance and functionality of electronic devices. - Enhanced data security and integrity. - Simplified integration of multiple PBAs within a single circuit board.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized in the development of advanced electronic devices for various industries, including telecommunications, automotive, and aerospace.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve data transfer and storage efficiency within a printed circuit board assembly? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in consumer electronics and industrial applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
A printed circuit board may include a plurality of printed board assemblies (PBAs) and an interface configured to connect the plurality of PBAs and an external device, wherein the interface includes terminals having an N*M array, and terminals having an N*K array among the terminals having the N*M array are electrically connected to each PBA included in the plurality of PBAs, wherein the each PBA includes a volatile memory, a nonvolatile memory, and at least one processor, and wherein each of the PBAs is configured to: in case that power is supplied from a first terminal among the terminals having the N*K array, transmit a first parameter signal to a second terminal among the terminals having the N*K array; in response to the transmission of the first parameter signal, store boot-loader data received from the external device in the volatile memory; in response to the storing of the boot-loader data, transmit a second parameter signal to a third terminal among the terminals having the N*K array; and in response to the transmission of the second parameter signal, store binary data received from the external device in the nonvolatile memory.
