Digital MEMS microphones have built-in analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuits on the same CMOS chip making the chip a digital microphone and so more readily integrated with modern digital products ...

Conventionally, IC and MEMS chips have been packaged separately and then integrated as a system on a printed circuit board (PCB), which led to the development of multi-chip modules. In semiconductor ...

MEMS devices are an order of magnitude larger than transistors, and transistors are continuing to shrink to smaller process scales (with at least a 10x shrinkage demonstrated in lab samples).

“The problems people started to face were twofold. One was that the bandwidth between these chips was limited by going through the PCB, and then a limited number of balls on the package limited the ...

The design must be adapted for the desired stackup and PCB layout to guarantee the targeted performance is achieved. The simulation can be extended to include the antennas and, in the end, the whole ...

A brain-inspired computer chip that could supercharge artificial intelligence (AI) by working faster with much less power has been developed by researchers at IBM in San Jose, California. Their ...
