Many thanks Brian. I do have a couple of last questions to ask. Do all signals pass through this memory interface you've mentioned above ? So if the main CPU receives an input signal from an IO device will it always pass through this memory interface IC ? Also is this memory interface IC located...
Thanks for the response. Can you tell me what would be considered to be "another device on a motherboard" ? Would a IO Controller integrated onto a modern CPU be considered to be such a device ? I would like to understand which part of a computer handles the reading and writing of files and...
Hello. I have an old Seagate SATA 320GB HDD. The model number is ST3320620AS product number 9BJ14G-300. I've attached a photo of the drive's PCB which shows two main chips. Can anyone help me identify what these chips are and what are their role ? Would one of them be called a HDD Controller ...
Thanks to all replies. Thanks FvM my question was completely hypothetical but if it will help suppose a transceiver uses cell phone frequencies but the application is not cell phones. Which brings to me to another question. Is it possible to piggy back on the cellular frequencies used by cell...
Can anyone tell me whether a transceiver (IC) requires a dedicated CPU (core) in order for it to do its thing such as process incoming data such as commands when sending data out ? I'm a newbie in the field of transceivers and RF technologies. Does a transceiver have a stack similar to what an...
Thanks for the helpful post.

My next step would be to view the surface of the die (IC) once it has been decapped. Then to determine how many layers does it have.

Where can I get more information on the type/model of the chip that is actually being used here ? Will the manufacturer give out this information ?
Would it deploy a single CPU core ? Do die-bonded chips come equipped with a CPU core ? I'm new to the field of electronics and just wanted to know from a educational perspective.
I took apart a $5 travel alarm clock as shown in the picture below. I wanted to know what sort of chip(s) are being deployed by this clock to display the time. Does it use a microprocessor or a CPU core ? How many die, layers would be found embedded in the central chip that is used in this...
re: [Moved]: inspecting & recapping interior surface mounted capacitors
Then how can the interior be inspected for anomalies ? Something that should not be there such as a transceiver, antenna and front end that sort of thing.

SLK001 so they cannot be decapped can they be...
