Patent ID: 7522425

Claim:
A circuit module comprising: a flex circuit having a first side and a second side and first and second flex perimeter edges and plural contacts along the first side adapted for connection to a circuit board socket; a plurality of integrated circuits disposed along the first side of the flex circuit and the second side of the flex circuit; at least one DIMM instantiation being comprised from the plural integrated circuits; and a single rigid substrate supporting the circuit module having first and second opposing lateral sides and first and second substrate perimeter edges, the flex circuit being disposed about the first substrate perimeter edge so as to place the plural contacts of the flex circuit facing outward away from the substrate but proximal to the first substrate perimeter edge, the plural integrated circuits disposed along the second side of the flex circuit between the flex circuit and the rigid substrate and the plural integrated circuits disposed along the first side of the flex circuit facing outward away from the substrate and the flex circuit being disposed so as to place the first and second flex perimeter edges closer to the second substrate perimeter edge than the first substrate perimeter edge.
