Patent ID: 7864540

Claim:
A non-volatile memory card, comprising: a bottom surface including a first planar portion and a second planar portion residing in a different plane than the first planar portion; a top surface opposite the bottom surface, the top surface having a raised portion; a bottom edge extending between the top and bottom surfaces; a top edge opposite the bottom edge, the bottom surface further including a plurality of input/output (I/O) pins in the first planar portion and adjacent the top edge, a I/O pin distance being defined from one edge of the I/O pins to an opposite edge of the I/O pins in a direction parallel to the top edge; first and second side edges extending between the top and bottom surfaces and the top and bottom edges, the first side edge of the first and second side edges including first and second sections extending generally parallel to each other and a third section extending between the first and second sections and forming an oblique angle with each of the first and second sections, one of the first and second sections including a notch, a distance between the second side edge and the first section of the first side edge being substantially equal to the I/O pin distance, and a distance between the second side edge and the second section of the first side edge being greater than the distance between the second side edge and the first section of the first side; a circuit board in said card; a plurality of non-volatile storage elements enclosed within said card; and passive electrical elements enclosed within said card, said passive electrical elements are positioned in said second planar portion.
