Patent ID: 8189328

Claim:
A flash memory dual inline memory module (DIMM) comprising: a printed circuit board with an edge connector; a first plurality of multi-chip packaged flash memory/support application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) parts mounted to the printed circuit board and electrically coupled to the edge connector, each of the first plurality of multi-chip packaged flash memory/support ASIC parts including one or more randomly accessible flash memory die to periodically store data in a non-volatile manner, wherein the one or more randomly accessible flash memory die operate with a power supply voltage level differing from a power supply voltage level to be provided at the edge connector, and one or more circuits to convert one or more voltages to that used to operate the randomly accessible flash memory die to avoid mounting power conversion circuit to the printed circuit board and increasing the height thereof; and a first address device mounted to the printed circuit board and electrically coupled to the edge connector and the first plurality of multi-chip packaged flash memory/support ASIC parts.
