Abstract
A SIMM (single in-line memory module) board is provided with a plurality of integrated semiconductor memory or other integrated semiconductor circuit devices which include, as a part of each integrated circuit device, a current spike leveling capacitor. The capacitor is on the die side of circuitry connecting the device to the board. By connecting the on chip capacitors of the integrated circuit devices in parallel, sufficient capacitance is provided to stabilize current to all of the circuit devices.
