This design approach allows chips for a variety of applications to be made from the same generic gate array, thereby reducing production costs.
Industry:Software
In computer hardware, a small circuit card that carries a number of surface-mounted memory chips in a space-saving configuration with the connector pins protruding in a single line from the edge of the card. Varying numbers of SIMMs can be plugged easily into slots in a memory board to expand random access memory. See also dual inline memory module.
