What’s the difference between a 64k ROM in a 28-pin DIP and a 128k ROM in a 32-pin DIP? Aside from the obvious answers of “64k” and “four pins,” it turns out that these two chips have a lot in common, ...

SBT sockets simplify lab and evaluation applications due to low cost and better electrical/mechanical performance than conventional pogo pin sockets. To use, drop the IC into the socket, place the ...

Upgrading CPUs in office computers makes a great deal of sense given that while CPU technology has advanced greatly, other components live longer lives before they become obsolete. Upgrading poses a ...

All our computing devices rely on technology that allows them to connect to other devices and networks. Some of these work using electromagnetic systems, but a good number of them must use a physical ...

As semiconductor devices continue to advance, the demand for reliable, high-performance test sockets has never been greater. Yet, traditional socket design validation methods—such as per-pin ...
