azonenberg: awesome !!
03:29
<
azonenberg >
kristianpaul: awesome about what?
03:30
<
kristianpaul >
yup :)
03:30
<
azonenberg >
thx :)

Next step, once the board comes back from the fab (ordered last week) is testing an FTG256 part
03:31
<
azonenberg >
if thats successful i can move forward with my laptop design
03:31
<
azonenberg >
Fab is currently on hold until i have a bit more $$, there are two main focuses
03:31
<
azonenberg >
the first is improving lithography by getting a commercially made mask
03:31
<
azonenberg >
the second is buying a furnace for thermal oxidation and dopant diffusion
03:32
<
kristianpaul >
btw will be nice have mor info about how to get center the chip
03:32
<
azonenberg >
I basically stuck it down and jiggled under the microscope
03:32
<
azonenberg >
Figuring out how to improve yields is something i am thinking about
03:32
<
kristianpaul >
i friend of mine tried you owen aprouch with an avr32 chip and give up after the 5 atempt
03:32
<
kristianpaul >
but 3 is not bad i think :)
03:33
<
azonenberg >
One possibility is to draw an X in the silkscreen and line up the corners
03:33
<
kristianpaul >
ah yes
03:33
<
azonenberg >
another is to have crosshairs of some sort
03:33
<
kristianpaul >
draw^
03:33
<
azonenberg >
And what was the pitch on the avr32?
03:33
<
kristianpaul >
dont remenber now, similiar to spartan-6 i remenber
03:33
<
azonenberg >
thats a huge difference
03:34
<
azonenberg >
s6 comes in packages ranging form 0.5 to 1mm
03:34
<
kristianpaul >
i know ;)
03:34
<
azonenberg >
0.5, 0.8, 1.0 i think
03:34
<
azonenberg >
PIC32s are mostly TQFP and QFN
03:34
<
azonenberg >
the one BGA package is 0.8
03:34
<
azonenberg >
which is too fine for my fab's design rules in a full-array package (i cant fit vias between the balls)
03:34
<
azonenberg >
But 1mm i can
03:34
<
azonenberg >
In any case, i will be actively pursuing such things for a while because i have several designs in the pipe that need BGAs
03:34
<
azonenberg >
and i'll be trying to write more on the blog
03:35
<
azonenberg >
it was originally just reverse engineering but is now basically anything that pushes the limits of hobbyist electronics
03:35
<
kristianpaul >
pushes, yeah !
03:36
<
azonenberg >
you know me that well, lol... i love breaking down barriers and pushing boundaries
03:36
<
azonenberg >
especially if people say something cant be done
03:37
<
kristianpaul >
i just pinged a guy said i cant be done
03:41
<
kristianpaul >
from osmo-sdr
03:44
<
kristianpaul >
ther is a way to electrically test align before rework?
03:45
<
kristianpaul >
array will be nice to see ;)

pretty cool stuff, memristor effect starts to dominate more as the structure shrinks to the nano scale, and the effect has been seen for a long time, it just wasn't understood that it was memristance
04:42
<
Helldesk >
and you can potentially replace an equivalent circuit of a dozen transistors with just one memristor
04:43
<
Helldesk >
and they haven't reached its switching speed limit yet
05:37
<
Helldesk >
oh wow, they are immune to ionizing radiation
05:44
<
Helldesk >
non-volatile data storage and immensely fast computation
