  • Patent number: 10074632
    Abstract: A solid-state drive (SSD) includes a main printed circuit board (PCB), and a first semiconductor package and a second semiconductor package respectively mounted on a top surface and a bottom surface of the main PCB. Each of the first and second semiconductor packages has a surface on which connection pads corresponding to a package ball map are disposed. The package ball map includes cells arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, and one signal corresponds to each of the cells of the package ball map. The package ball map includes first signals corresponding to at least some of cells included in a selected reference column from among the plurality of columns, and at least one pair of second signals respectively corresponding to cells that are symmetrical to each other with respect to the reference column. The pair of second signals are swappable signals, and the first signals are not swappable signals.

  • Patent number: 9847319
    Abstract: A solid state drive (SSD) package type has a lower package including a lower package substrate, a controller chip mounted on the lower package substrate, and a plurality of upper packages disposed on the lower package as spaced apart from each other. The plurality of upper packages includes at least one non-volatile memory and at least one first individual electronic component. The upper packages are electrically connected to the lower package such that the package type is a package-on-package (PoP) type. The height of the first individual electronic component is greater than the spacing between the lower package and each of the upper packages.
