Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) module, such as a Single In-Line Memory Module (SIMM), Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM), or Multi-Chip Module (MCM), includes a buffering IC that buffers clock and other input signals received by the IC module. As a result of the buffering, the setup and hold times associated with these input signals are improved, thereby improving yields.
