Memory module with termination component
Abstract
A memory module having a termination component. The memory module includes multiple memory devices, a termination component, a control signal path and multiple data signal paths. The control signal path is coupled to each of the memory devices and the termination component, and extends along the memory devices such that signals propagating on the control signal path propagate past each of the memory devices in succession before reaching the termination component. A unique set of data signal paths is coupled to each of the memory devices.
