Exploring the ‘Crown Jewel’ of the PCB Field

[Image] Every electronic device contains a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). In the modern technology sector, PCBs have become the foundation and core of the electronics industry, serving as the bedrock of the electronic world. Within the PCB field, there exists a ‘crown jewel’ that facilitates communication between chips and PCBs, known as the IC substrate. … Read more

Why Advanced Processes Enable High Computing Power and Low Power Consumption in Chips?

We can use a very vivid analogy to explain: imagine the inside of a chip as a city, and information (data) as vehicles traveling in this city. Old-fashioned “city” (outdated processes, such as 28 nanometers): Imagine a city with outdated planning: • Wide roads but occupy a lot of land: The “main roads” (connections between … Read more

Why Hardware Engineers Have Thinner Wallets Than PCBs

Why do hardware engineers have thinner wallets than circuit boards? Today, let’s discuss this heart-wrenching topic—where does all the money of hardware engineers go?1. The “static working point” on the paycheck is relatively low As the saying goes, choice is more important than effort. While our software counterparts are reaping the benefits in the internet … Read more

In-Depth Comparison and Analysis of PCB Surface Treatment Processes

1. The Core Role of Surface Treatment Processes First, it is important to understand why surface treatment is necessary: Preventing Copper Oxidation: Bare copper is highly susceptible to oxidation in the air, and the resulting copper oxide can severely damage solderability. Providing a Solderable Layer: It provides a good soldering surface for the connection between … Read more

XT25Q64F SPI NOR Flash

A “Small Chip” That Holds a Big World In the world of smart devices, whether it is routers, cameras, or industrial controllers, a reliable “storage warehouse” is needed to save firmware, configurations, and critical data. Today, we will deeply analyze XTX’s XT25Q64F—a stable and high-capacity flash memory chip, and see how it becomes the core … Read more

In-Depth Analysis of the Storage Chip Device Industry Chain (Including Sub-segment Targets)

The mainstream storage chips are divided into DRAM and NAND. DRAM is like building a vast, uniform “single-story neighborhood” on a flat surface, where each “house” (capacitor and transistor) is extremely small and precise; whereas 3D NAND resembles constructing a “skyscraper,” significantly increasing storage density by stacking hundreds of layers vertically. Compared to logic chips, … Read more
