This data collected from the ChipEstimate.com user community during September of 2007.   Our PLLs and DDR DLLs are high-quality, low-jitter, silicon-proven hard macros. Immediate delivery in a range of sizes and functions in TSMC, UMC, CHRT and Common Platform processes from 180nm to 55nm. Visit the timing experts at www.truecircuits.com   Real-Time Detection of Solder Joint Faults in Operating By Ken Harris Ridgetop Group Solder joint faults can be described with a single word - pernicious. Solder joints connect the BGA package, containing a FPGA processor, to the PCB. Without early detection, electrical anomalies caused by solder joint faults can result in the catastrophic failure of mission-critical equipment. more>>
