The General Purpose PLL is a wide range clock multiplier with deskew capability. It contains a 1-16 divider at the reference clock input, a 1-64 divider in the internal feedback path, and a 1-16 ...

The DDR DLL uses a reference clock to establish a time base in order to delay arbitrary (nonperiodic) strobe signals by precise fractions of the clock cycle. It uses a phase-locked analog delay line ...

This practice is known as "Chip Binning" and while not really part of this practice, a Reddit subscriber happened to find a silicon wafer in the ultimate bin-a garbage can. The foundation of chip ...

while TSMC had been planning to transition straight from 28nm to 16nm. For Chang, this was an issue. As he later recalled, "A half step is a detour." Despite his initial reservations, Chang saw an ...
