  • Publication number: 20090137070
    Abstract: A manufacturing method makes memory modules from partially-good DRAM chips soldered to its substrate. The partially-good DRAM chips have a number of defective memory cells that is below a test threshold, such as 10%. Packaged DRAM chips are optionally pre-screened and considered to pass when the number of defects found is less than the test threshold. A defect table is created during testing and written to a serial-presence-detect electrically-erasable read-only memory (SPD-EEPROM) on the memory module. The memory module is finally tested on a target-system tester that reads the defect table during booting, and redirects memory access to defective memory locations identified by the defect table. The memory modules may be burned in or tested at various temperatures and voltages to increase reliability.

  • Publication number: 20080297345
    Abstract: An alarm device for a notebook, including a housing, a circuit board, a press key module, a sensing unit and an alarm unit. The housing is a flat housing. A bottom face of the housing is attachable to a surface of the notebook. An upper section of the housing is formed with an arced edge. The press key module is arranged on the surface of the housing for a user to operate to generate control signals. The circuit board, the sensing unit and the alarm unit are arranged in the housing. The sensing unit serves to sense respective tilting or vibration states and output a sensing signal to the circuit board. The circuit board includes various related electronic components and a rechargeable battery for supplying power for the circuit board. The circuit board serves to accept the control signals from the press key module and the sensing signals from the sensing unit and output an alarm signal to the alarm unit. The alarm unit serves to accept the alarm signal from the circuit board to produce alarm sound/light.

  • Patent number: 7277337
    Abstract: A downgraded memory module has downgraded DRAM chips soldered to its substrate. The downgraded DRAM chips have a defective memory cell in a logical quadrant of the memory. A physical MSB is a row address present on a non-downgraded DRAM of size S but not used on a downgraded DRAM size S/2. The physical MSB and a second address pin are non-multiplexed address pins that do not carry column addresses. The physical MSB and the second address pin logically divided the DRAM into quadrants. Two good quadrants without defects are selected, and jumpers on the memory module drive the physical MSB and the second address pin with signals that select only these two quadrants and disable access to quadrants containing defects. DRAM chips can be marked or sorted into bins for combinations of good quadrants. Downgraded memory modules have all DRAM chips from the same bin that share jumper settings.
