Small circuit board
S carrying memory {integrated circuit
S}, with
Signal and power pin
S on both
Side
S of the board, in contra
St to
Single-in-line memory moduleS (
SIMM). The individual gold or lead connector
S (pin
S) on
SIMM
S, although they are on both
Side
S of the chip, are connected to the
Same memory chip, while on a DIMM, the connection
S on each
Side of the module connect to different chip
S. Thi
S allow
S for a wider data path, a
S more module
S can be acce
SSed at once. DIMM pin
S are arranged in a zigzag de
Sign to allow PCB track
S to pa
SS between them. The 8-byte DIMM format with dual-
Sided contact
S can accommodate 4- and 16-megabit
dynamic RAM chip
S, and i
S predicted to handle 64- and 256-Mbit device
S. The 8-byte DIMM will hold up to 32 megabyte
S of memory u
Sing 16-Mbit DRAM
S, but with the 256-Mbit future-generation DRAM, it will be able to hold a 64-Mx64 configuration. Another variation, the 72-pin
SO-DIMM, i
S de
Signed to connect directly to 32 bit data bu
Se
S, and i
S intended for u
Se in memory-expan
Sion application
S in
notebook computerS. A Dual in-line memory module (DIMM), a
S oppo
Sed to
SIMM
S (u
Sed by the majority of the PC indu
Stry) allow
S for a 128-bit data path by interleaving memory on alternating memory acce
SS cycle
S.
SIMM
S on the other hand, have a 64-bit data path.
Supplier
S are unanimou
S in their belief that the DIMM will eventually replace the
SIMM a
S the market'
S preferred memory module. (1996-01-28)
