The inventive embedded processing subsystem module is adapted for backside circuit board assembly directly opposite of a specific microprocessor or Digital Signal Processor so that circuit groups such as memory banks and communications peripherals may utilize otherwise unused backside printed circuit board space underneath the processor device, and further so that high-speed signals interconnecting the processor and subsystem circuit devices traverse a minimized printed circuit track length.

Method of manufacture for embedded processing subsystem module

Microprocessor subsystem module for PCB bottom-side BGA installation

An interactive voice communication terminal (10) provides alpha and numeric characters transmitted from a DTMF generator (36) to access a database by interfacing with the mouthpiece (24) of a telephone handset (26) via a transducer (22). A keypad (14) is operable to allow selection of one of multiple characters associated with alpha characters and numeric characters. A table of DTMF strings associated with each key is stored in a memory (34). In response to depression of a key on the keypad (14), a centralized controller (32) controls the DTMF generator (36) to output the sequence associated with the depressed key that was stored in the memory (34) to transducer (22) via a driver (38). The tables in the memory (34) can be a combination of DTMF sequences for alpha characters and single number sequences for numerical sequences or they can be fixed-length sequences for all numerical and alpha characters. Further, a Learn mode is provided for allowing the user to program the DTMF sequence for a given key on the keypad (14).
