DISPOSITIVO DE MEMORIA DE ESTADO SOLIDO

摘要

A portable memory cartridge (10) is provided with a plurality of memory storage devices (11-16); (51-56) along with a decoder (30) that permits an external device (D1-D8) to address specific memory locations within the memory cartridge devices or individual capacities of the memory devices used within the memory cartridge. A connector (22) is connected in signal communication with each of the memory devices within the memory cartridge and a decoder (30) is used to determine the proper memory component applicable for a particular address received from an external device. The connection points (C1-C32) of the connector are divided into three sets. A first set (C1-C8) represents binary digits of data. A second set (C11-C21); (C11-C23) represents the lower order bits of an address word and the third set (C22-C24); (C24-C26) represents the higher order bits of an address word which is used as an input to the decoder 30 which selects one of the plurality of memory devices in which the chosen memory location is located. The combined third and second binary digits represents a total address relative to the 0 location within the entire memory cartridge. The circuitry and memory devices are located within a plastic case that is made of an antistatic material to pre-vent inadvertent damage during insertion into an external device.
