Abstract
A module substrate has a plurality of module data terminal pairs individually provided in association with respective chip data terminals in a plurality of memory chips, and a plurality of module data wirings which respectively connect between the plurality of module data terminal pairs. The plurality of module data wirings are connected to their corresponding chip data terminals and are configured so as to be available as a memory access data bus. In a memory system in which a plurality of memory modules are arranged in parallel, module data wirings of each of the individual memory modules are connected in serial form, and each of the individual module data wirings do not constitute branch wirings with respect to a data bus on a motherboard of the memory system. In the memory modules, parallel access for the number of bits corresponding to the width of the memory access data bus is assured.
