AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing memory cartridges for information processing devices, such as game devices, are not sufficiently compact, limiting their miniaturization potential.
Method used
A cartridge design with a terminal arrangement area featuring a first region and a second region, where data input/output terminals, strobe, clock, power supply, and ground terminals are strategically arranged to facilitate compactness and stable data communication.
Benefits of technology
The compact design allows for reduced dimensions, particularly in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, while ensuring stable data communication by minimizing noise susceptibility through strategic terminal placement.

Abstract
To provide a novel cartridge that is attachable / detachable with respect to a game device.SOLUTION: A terminal arrangement area of the cartridge is divided into an upper area and a lower area, the cartridge including: a plurality of terminals disposed on the upper area; a plurality of terminals disposed on the lower area; and a plurality of long terminals provided astride over the upper area and the lower area. The long terminals may be a ground terminal, a chip-enabled terminal, a power terminal, or a reset terminal. A strobe terminal and a clock terminal are aligned vertically. Two data input / output terminals are aligned vertically, and the cartridge includes four sets of vertically-aligned data input / output terminals. A long terminal is provided near the vertically-aligned strobe terminal and clock terminal, and a long terminal is provided near the vertically-aligned two data input / output terminals.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
