The QorIQ Communications portfolio has traditionally used Power Architecture® based cores. The latest QorIQ LS series of processors has expanded to use ARM® core technology. There are a lot of software-visible architectural differences between these two types of cores, and system software is dependent on the core architecture. If a system software developer who has experience with Power Architecture based devices transitions to ARM-based processors, the developer must understand the differences between the cores so that the software can be easily migrated from a Power Architecture core to an ARM core. This session compares these two core architectures and sheds light on how software can handle the differences. Watch Video Presentation

Resonant AC/DC supplies have superior efficiency at high power output. The TEA1916 is a digital controller simplifying the complexity of resonant LLC designs and providing easy tuning. It succeeds the very popular TEA1716 used in many resonant Switch Mode Power Supplies for e.g. PC's & TV's, but the TEA1916 is actually very suitable for any power supply > 75W, e.g. medical, industrial and server power supplies. The TEA1916 uses a new digital cycle-by-cycle architecture (Vcap control) to enable a new type of operation at low power loads. This increases the efficiency at low output power, using an accurately controlled burst mode operation. The TEA1916 also achieves very low power consumption in standby or off state; a key performance parameter to differentiate from competition. To obtain the highest efficiency the TEA1916 works excellent together with NXP's TEA1995 Synchronous Rectifier.

New entrepreneurs and innovators today can quickly prototype, thanks to the new Maker movement. This seemingly endless world of possibilities, however, hits a strong limitation when it comes to manufacturing a product in mass production, due to a missing step, or link, between making a proof of concept and manufacturing it. This speech, will show how SECO picked up on the gap between Makers and Industry, by fusing its embedded expertise with the newly acquired Maker Movement experience, through its community movement and board: UDOO.

Plasma cleaning has been used extensively in the IC packaging industry for cleaning assembly materials to improve its cleanliness for the subsequent process, and enhance the overall package or device reliability. One of the challenges is how to establish the compatibility of the cleaning process as various materials are exposed to the plasma. The control of contamination is very important with the recent use of Cu wires in IC packaging. Bond pad corrosion has been found to be critical in device and package reliability and this is one of the main issues that will be tackled in this paper. Evaluation results that include surface analysis and reliability testing using the different plasma cleaning configurations and its other applications will be presented.
