Patent ID: 8018038

Claim:
A nonvolatile memory apparatus comprising: a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices; a control device; a substrate having first terminals and second terminals; a plurality of first signal lines; a plurality of second signal lines; and a plurality of third signal lines, wherein said nonvolatile memory devices and said control device are mounted on said substrate, wherein said control device provides data to said plurality of nonvolatile memory devices according to received data from said first terminals so that the data is stored in said plurality of nonvolatile memory devices, wherein said first signal lines are used for coupling between said first terminals and respective first electrodes of said control device, wherein said second signal lines are used for coupling between electrodes of said nonvolatile memory devices and respective second electrodes of said control device, wherein said third signal lines are used for coupling between said second signal lines and respective ones of said second terminals, wherein said first terminals are exposed, and wherein said second terminals can be used to access said nonvolatile memory devices.
