The present invention relates to a memory storage device, and more particularly relates to a durable memory device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA memory storage device is an essential component for a computing device. The memory storage device stores or temporarily holds digital data of the computing device for quickly data access. The memory storage devices could be classified including DRAM module, i.e., UDIMM, RDIMM, SODIMM, and flash module, i.e., solid-state drive. With the miniaturization of the computing devices, a memory storage device becomes more utilized in outdoor places, where a memory storage device is risky to contact sulfur compounds and water molecules in the air. As a result, the lifespan of the memory storage devices is shortened. Furthermore, in outdoor places, in addition to the risk of sulfuration and water molecules, a memory storage device may be damaged by high-voltage surges generated by lightning and static electricity, which cause the component failure.
For solving the above, some prior solid-state drives of the memory storage devices apply an anti-sulfurization passive component such as an anti-sulfurization resistor, whose electrical terminals are changed to anti-sulfurization material. Moreover the structure of the resistors is also improved in a manner that a conductive path between electrical terminals is changed from a straight path to a winding path to resist high-voltage surges. However, for the solid-state drives, a memory storage device only having the above anti-vulcanization and anti-high-pressure-surges resistor is still not sufficient to cope with outdoor circumstances.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAccordingly, one objective of the present invention is to provide a durable memory device, which has protective effect against high-voltage surges.
In order to overcome the technical problems in prior art, the present invention provides an durable memory device, which is a main memory or a solid-state drive, the durable memory device comprising: a multilayer PCB including a plurality of circuit layers and a plurality of insulating layers, each circuit layer and each insulating layer being alternately arranged with each other, each circuit layer being provided with a via through which the plurality of circuit layers are electrically connected, at least one of the circuit layers being functioned as a ground layer; a memory member which is disposed at the multilayer PCB; a connecting interface which is disposed at the multilayer PCB and is electrically connected to the memory member, the connecting interface being provided to connect to a corresponding connecting portion of a computing device; and an anti-sulfuration-and-anti-high-voltage passive component which is disposed at the multilayer PCB and is electrically connected to the memory member and the connecting interface, wherein a winding conductive path is provided to electrically connect between electrical terminals of the anti-sulfuration-and-anti-high-voltage passive component.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-sulfuration-and-anti-high-voltage passive component is an anti-sulfuration-and-anti-high-voltage resistor.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the multilayer PCB is an eight-layer PCB or a ten-layer PCB.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the ground layer of the multilayer PCB includes a power ground, the anti-sulfuration-and-anti-high-voltage passive component is electrically connected to the power ground.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the ground layer of the multilayer PCB includes an analog ground and a common ground, the power ground is electrically connected to the common ground through at least one via of the vias, the analog ground is electrically connected to the common ground through via of the vias other than said at least one via.
In one embodiment of the present invention, further comprising an anti-high-voltage capacitor, which is disposed at the multilayer PCB and is electrically connected to the connecting interface and the memory member.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of the anti-sulfuration-and-anti-high-voltage passive component is more than one.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the durable memory device is a main memory.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the durable memory device is a solid-state drive.
The technical means adopted by the present invention is to mount the anti-vulcanization-and-anti-high-voltage passive components on multilayer PCB. The anti-sulfuration-and-anti-high-voltage passive component is modified based on the anti-sulfurization passive component, which alters its conductive path between the electrical terminals from a straight path to a winding path, so as to extend the length of the conductive path between the electrical terminals to obtain a slight inclined potential energy along the path to avoid the damage caused by high-voltage surges to the anti-vulcanization-and-anti-high-voltage passive component. In addition to the ability to resist high-voltage surges, the structure of multilayer PCB could disperse wirings across these multiple layers so as to obtain more distance between the circuits to reduce the risk of mutual interference and electric-conduction. The multilayer PCB also has ground layers, which provide with good conductivity and shielding ability. Moreover, the ground layers could also absorb and shield excessive high-voltage surges. Therefore, the multilayer design of the multilayer PCB in combination of the characteristic features of anti-vulcanization-and-anti-high-voltage passive component could further improve the ability to resist high-voltage surges. As a result, the memory device of the present invention is more durable for outdoor use.
