Abstract:
A Memory Module board comprising:a printed circuit board having first and second opposing surfaces;a plurality of memory modules mounted on the first surface of the printed circuit board;a module bus comprising a plurality of separate parallel continuous electrical conductors extending between first and second ends thereof which are printed on the printed circuit board, the plurality of parallel electrical conductors being coupled to predetermined ones of the memory modules and each of the conductors having a portion thereof extending beyond the last memory module and to the second end thereof by a length which is greater than a distance between adjacent memory modules and is sufficient to substantially limit reflections and/or crosstalk between the electrical conductors; anda terminating resistor device coupled to second ends of predetermined ones of the plurality of electrical conductors of the module bus for providing predetermined terminating resistances thereto.
