Abstract:
1. A module for connection with at least one microelectronic assembly, each microelectronic assembly including a set of terminals and a microelectronic element having a memory storage array having a given number of storage locations, the microelectronic element of each microelectronic assembly having inputs connected with the terminals for receiving command and address information specifying one of the storage locations, the module comprising: a circuit panel having first and second opposed surfaces and bearing a set of conductors configured to carry the command and address information; at least one set of co-support contacts coupled to the set of conductors, each set of co-support contacts exposed at the first surface or the second surface, each set of co-support contacts being configured for connection to the set of terminals of a single microelectronic assembly of the at least one microelectronic assembly; and a plurality of module contacts coupled to the set of conductors, the module contacts being configured for carrying information for transfer to and from the at least one set of co-support contacts, the module contacts configured for connection with a component external to the module, wherein each of the at least one set of co-support contacts includes first contacts that have address and command information assignments arranged in (a) a first predetermined arrangement for connection with a first type of the microelectronic assembly in which the microelectronic element is configured to sample the command and address information coupled thereto through the first contacts at a first sampling rate, the first contacts having a first number thereof, and in (b) a second predetermined arrangement for connection with a second type of the microelectronic assembly in which the microelectronic element is configured to sample the command and address information coupled thereto through a subset of the first contacts including a second number of the first contacts at a second sampling rate being greater than the first sampling rate, the subset including some first contacts occupying identical positions with the first contacts which are assigned to the first predetermined arrangement, the second number being fewer than the first number.
