Printed circuit board memory module with embedded passive components

A memory module includes a plurality of memory components mounted on a printed circuit board, and a plurality of passive components embedded within the board directly underneath the memory components to minimize the space occupied by the passive components and the lengths of the required conductive traces. The passive components and the memory components are connected by conductor-filled vias between the contacts of the embedded components and the memory components mounted above them on the board surface. The passive components may be thick film resistors, either series damping resistors or differential damping resistors. By embedding the resistors directly beneath the memory components, there is enough space on the board to provide a set of termination resistors for each of the several memory components on the board, thereby eliminating the need for a single resistor to be shared by two or more memory components, resulting in more precise output signals.

Method and a digital-to-analog converter for converting a time varying digital input signal

A digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) (1) comprises a digital processing circuit (2) having an input register (10) to which data samples of a digital input signal are written at a data sampling rate (fs). A delay register (14) holds each data sample for one clock cycle of the data sampling rate (fs), and a subtracting circuit (15) sequentially produces difference values between consecutive ones of the data samples by subtracting the data sample in the delay register (14) from the input register (12) on each clock cycle of the data sampling rate (fs). The difference values are sequentially converted to proportional analogue current signals by a current steering DAC circuit (3) which sequentially steers the proportional current signals for the duration of the respective clock cycles of the data sampling rate (fs) to a predominantly capacitive load impedance (4), which is coupled to ground 8 through a voltage reference source (5) and the voltage developed across the predominantly capacitive load impedance (4) with respect to ground (8) is a continuously linearly interpolated analogue voltage representative of the data sample of the digital input signal.
