A Multi-configuration Processor-Memory device for coupling to a PCB
(printed circuit board) interface. The device comprises a substrate that
supports multiple configurations of memory components and a processor
while having a single, common interface with a PCB interface of a printed
circuit board. In a first configuration, the substrate supports a
processor and a first number of memory components. In a second
configuration, the substrate supports a processor and an additional
number of memory components. The memory components can be pre-tested,
packaged memory components mounted on the substrate. The processor can be
a surface mounted processor die. Additionally, the processor can be
mounted in a flip chip configuration, side-opposite the memory
components. In the first configuration, a heat spreader can be mounted on
the memory components and the processor to dissipate heat. In the second,
flip chip, configuration, the processor face can be soldered onto a
non-electrically functional area of the PCB interface of the printed
circuit board to dissipate heat.
