Methods and apparatuses for providing a hybrid memory module having both volatile and non-volatile memories to replace a DDR channel in a processing system.

Hybrid memory architectures

In some embodiments, a method, apparatus and system for enabling and disabling voltage regulator controllers are generally presented. In this regard, a sequencer agent is introduced to selectively enable or disable the outputs of voltage regulator controllers in an electronic appliance based at least in part on settings stored in non-volatile memory. Other embodiments are discussed and claimed.

System for enabling and disabling voltage regulator controller of electronic appliance according to a series of delay times assigned to voltage regulator controllers

A technique usable with a computer includes in response to the computer being in a predetermined sleep state, coupling a load to conduct current from a supply voltage plane of the computer to ground. The supply voltage plane does not receive power from a power resource of the computer in response to the predetermined sleep state. In response to the computer being in a predetermined state other than the predetermined sleep state, the load is decoupled so that the load does not conduct current from the supply voltage plane to ground.

Method and apparatus for activating a bleed circuit through logic in response to a back-driven voltage on a supply voltage plane

A printed circuit board utilizes asymmetric striplines to accommodate a large number of transmission lines on a six-layer board. The asymmetric striplines are formed from two signal layers that are sandwiched between two reference planes such that the traces in each signal layer form asymmetric striplines with the two reference planes. Two additional signal layers are arranged on the outside of the reference planes so as to form microstrips with the reference planes.

Dual channel bus routing using asymmetric striplines

The invention provides a printed circuit board that has electronic power switches. The switches include vertical heat conductive metal backings, for attaching heat sinks. Each heat sink includes a main panel and two flanking fin panels. The main panels are attached to the metal backings and are arranged vertically, such as according to the TO-220 methodology. The invention provides bringing the power switches close to each other, and interleaving the fins according to various configurations, pairs or chain. Openings in the fin panels become aligned with each other, permitting a stream of air to move through them.
