ABSTRACT:
A module such as a SIMM or other type of memory module is provided with supply power at a higher potential than the operating potential of semiconductor memory devices on the module. A voltage regulator circuit on the module reduces the potential supplied to the memory devices and provides the power to the memory devices at regulated potential than would be achieved by providing the supply power at the desired potential in the first place. Advantages include reduction in error rate, even when semiconductor components are used which are unusually susceptible to variations in supply potential.
