Abstract
Semiconductor memory modules and semiconductor memory systems using the same are described herein. The modules divide a conventional DIMM into a series of separate, smaller memory modules. Each memory module includes at least one semiconductor memory chip arranged on a substrate; CAwD signal input lines arranged on the substrate in a first predetermined line number and connecting one of the semiconductor memory chips to CAwD input signal pins on the substrate; and rD signal output lines arranged on the substrate in a second predetermined line number and connecting the one or a last semiconductor memory to a second number of rD output signal pins of the substrate. In a semiconductor memory system including the semiconductor memory modules, each memory module is separately connected to a memory controller by the CAwD signal input lines and the rD signal output lines in a respective point-to-point fashion.
