Abstract

The present invention is adapted to a memory system that includes: a motherboard and a module board, wherein: the motherboard comprises a module socket mounted on the motherboard; and a plurality of pins two-dimensionally arranged on the module socket, and vertically erected with respect to the motherboard: and the module board comprises a plurality of device chips installed on the module board; and a contact portion mounted on the module board, and including a plurality of through holes two-dimensionally arranged thereon, the contact portion being electrically connected to the device chips: wherein each of the pins is inserted into each of the through holes to connect electrically to the contact portion.

Claims (40)

1 . A memory system, comprising:

a motherboard comprising

a module socket mounted on the motherboard; and

a plurality of pins two-dimensionally arranged on the module socket, and vertically erected with respect to the motherboard; and

a module board comprising

a plurality of device chips installed on the module board; and

a contact portion mounted on the module board, and including a plurality of through holes two-dimensionally arranged thereon, the contact portion being electrically connected to the device chips,

wherein each of the pins is inserted into each of the through holes to connect electrically to the contact portion.

2 . The memory system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a hole formed in the module board; and

a pole provided with a notch mounted on the module socket, the pole being inserted into the hole to engage with each other for fixing the module board.

3 . The memory system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a CPU installed on the motherboard,

wherein the module socket is mounted on a surface of the motherboard on which the CPU is also installed.

4 . The memory system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a CPU installed on the motherboard,

wherein the module socket is mounted on a rear surface of the motherboard at a position opposite the CPU installed on a front surface of said motherboard.

5 . The memory system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of device chips is arranged around the contact portion on the module board so that the plurality of device chips surrounds the contact portion.

6 . The memory system according to claim 1 , wherein the module board consists of a plurality of the module boards, and the plurality of module boards are installed as the plurality of module boards that are horizontally stacked with respect to the motherboard.

7 . The memory system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of device chips comprises dynamic random access memory.

8 . A memory module, comprising:

a module board;

a plurality of device chips installed on the module board; and

a contact portion mounted on the module board, and including a plurality of through holes two-dimensionally arranged thereon, the contact portion being electrically connected to the device chips.

9 . The memory module according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a hole formed in the module board,

wherein the module board is fixed by inserting a pole provided with a notch into the hole to engage with each other.

10 . The memory module according to claim 8 , wherein the plurality of device chips is arranged around the contact portion on the module board so that the plurality of device chips surrounds the contact portion.

11 . The memory system according to claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of device chips comprises dynamic random access memory.

12 . A module socket, comprising:

a motherboard; and

a plurality of pins two-dimensionally arranged on the motherboard, and vertically erected with respect to the motherboard.

13 . The module socket according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a pole provided with a notch mounted on the motherboard, and being inserted into a hole of a board to engage with other for fixing the board.

14 . The module socket according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a CPU installed on the motherboard,

wherein the module socket is mounted on a surface of the motherboard on which the CPU is also installed.

15 . The module socket according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a CPU installed on the motherboard,

wherein the module socket is mounted on a rear surface of the motherboard at a position opposite the CPU installed on a front surface of said motherboard.
