Abstract

Memory module flex circuitry is devised to accommodate packaged integrated circuit devices (ICs) of varying heights or thicknesses. The invention may be employed to advantage in a variety of modules that employ flex circuitry including, but not limited to, fully-buffered, registered or more simple memory modules. Many such modules may replace conventionally-constructed DIMMs without change to the system in which the module is employed. Regions of the flex circuitry devised to provide one or more mounting locales for ICs are delineated, in part, from the main body of the flex circuit. The delineation may be implemented in a preferred embodiment by separating a designated IC mounting area or peninsula from the main body of the flex circuitry either with isolating areas or separations or with tabs that extend from the primary perimeter of the flex circuitry.
