  • Single in-line memory module having on-board regulation circuits
    Patent number: 5831890
    Abstract: A single in-line memory module (SIMM) having on-board regulation circuits is disclosed. The present invention includes a plurality of inputs. These inputs include a first reference voltage signal. The present invention employs a plurality of memory elements that are arranged to form a datapath having a predetermined width. These memory elements operate at a second reference voltage signal that is different from the first reference voltage signal received by the SIMM. On-board regulation circuits are provided to translate the first reference voltage signal into the second reference voltage signal so that the memory elements of the SIMM can use the first reference voltage signal. A driver for providing an interface between the memory elements and a computer system is also provided. This driver may also operate at the second reference.
