Patent ID: 7608920

Claim:
A memory card comprising: an IC-populated flexible circuitry structure including: a flexible circuitry having first and second major sides and card contacts along at least one of the first and second major sides; first, second, third and fourth leaded packaged ICs, each one of which leaded packaged ICs has an upper and a lower major surface and plural peripheral sides, a first plurality of leads emergent from at least a first one of the plural peripheral sides of each of the first, second, third, and fourth packaged ICs, the first major side of the flexible circuitry being populated with the first and second leaded package ICs and the second major side of the flexible circuitry being populated with the third and fourth leaded package ICs so that the lower surface of each of the first and second leaded packaged ICs contacts the first side of the flexible circuitry and the lower surface of each of the third and fourth leaded package ICs contacts the second side of the flexible circuitry; a case having first and second parts each having a window, the first and second part fitted together to frame the IC-populated flexible circuitry structure.
