One of the most representative causes of semiconductor product failures is the degradation of semiconductor devices due to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and surges. This time, I would like to introduce measures against ESD and surges for semiconductor products.

This time, I will talk about creating device models for simulation (device modeling). [Contents] ■ What is device modeling? ■ Device modeling of high-frequency power amplifiers ■ Measurements to determine parameters

One of the challenges that cannot be overlooked in electronic components and circuit board design is deformation due to heat. This time, I will discuss thermal warping that occurs due to temperature changes in multilayer structures with different materials in each layer.

Many people may have experienced issues such as unstable operation of digital control boards or missing communication data, albeit rarely. This "rarely" is quite troublesome, as it is usually difficult to reproduce the malfunction. Additionally, capturing the malfunction, analyzing the cause, and implementing the correct countermeasures requires a certain level of experience. These sporadic issues may be related to the waveform quality of signals that use edges, such as clocks. In this article, we will briefly introduce the malfunctions caused by edge disturbances.

In addition to designing and prototyping general boards equipped with general-purpose ICs and passive components at WTI, we also provide design and prototyping support for evaluation boards using bare semiconductor chips for universities and research institutions, which is not widely known. This time, we would like to introduce this content. 【Content Overview】 ■About Our Role *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The receiver section of the radio is designed to receive radio waves normally even when influenced by other radios used in the world, and standards have been established for this purpose, necessitating a design that adheres to these standards. This time, I will briefly discuss the radio standards for the receiver section! [Contents] ■ Minimum reception sensitivity ■ Adjacent channel selectivity ■ Receiver intermodulation ■ Spurious response ■ Secondary emission * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

I will introduce DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory). A good way to understand what DDR SDRAM is used for is to imagine a personal computer. One of the specifications that people often consider in a computer is the memory, and the memory used in that is DDR SDRAM. 【Contents】 ■ The role of DDR SDRAM ■ The differences between DDR and SDR standards *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In EOL measures (investigating and replacing discontinued electronic components), it is essential to thoroughly understand the characteristics of each electronic component in order to select parts suitable for their applications. This time, as an example, we will focus on "crystals," which are essential for generating clocks in digital circuits, and provide a detailed explanation. 【Contents】 ■ Types and performance of crystals ■ Flow of EOL measures *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
