Abstract
A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) and a digital flash card are disclosed including an internal, built-in RFID tag in which identification and product information is contained. The RFID tag has an RF integrated circuit chip and antenna traces spreading outwardly therefrom to permit access to the information contained by the RF chip. In the case of a DIMM, the RF integrated circuit chip and its antenna traces are located on top of or between the layers of a multi-layer laminated printed wiring board substrate. In the case of a digital flash card, the RF integrated circuit chip and its antenna traces are preferably located on top of a multi-layer printed wiring board substrate and then encapsulated within a molded cover. In the alternative, the RF chip and its antenna traces are attached to the inside of a cover that extends over and is spaced above the printed wiring board substrate.
