Publication number: 20240249754Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for writing and storing parameter codes for operating parameters, and selecting between the parameter codes to set an operating condition for a memory are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first mode register and a second mode register. The first mode register is configured to store first and second parameter codes for a same operating parameter. The second mode register is configured to store a parameter code for a control parameter to select between the first and second parameter codes to set a current operating condition for the operating parameter. An example method includes storing in a first register a first parameter code for an operating parameter used to set a first memory operating condition, and further includes storing in a second register a second parameter code for the operating parameter used to set a second memory operating condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Dean D.

Patent number: 6229218Abstract: An interconnect device for connecting an electronic package, whether it be a single chip or a multi-component device, to a primary substrate requiring the mating of dissimilar solder patterns includes a secondary substrate having a first face and a second face. The first face of the secondary substrate may include a first pattern of conductive lands formed on the first face corresponding to a plurality of conductive leads of an electronic package. The second face of the secondary substrate includes a second pattern of conductive lands corresponding to a plurality of conductive lands formed on the primary substrate. The first pattern of conductive lands formed on the first face is electrically connected to the second pattern of conductive lands formed on the second face via surface and internal conductive paths. Solder ball reflow soldering methods are used to connect the electronic device to the secondary substrate and to connect the secondary substrate to the primary substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1998Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Assignee: MCMS, Inc.Inventors: William J.
