  • Memory module having on-chip surge capacitors
    Patent number: 5307309
    Abstract: A SIMM (single in-line memory module) board is provided with a plurality of semiconductor memory devices which include, as a part of each memory device, a current spike leveling capacitor. The capacitor is on the die side of circuitry connecting the memory device to the board. By connecting the on-chip capacitors of the memory devices in parallel, sufficient capacitance is provided to stabilize current to all of the memory devices.
