摘要： The present invention provides a redistribution package having an upper surface that includes contacts with reduced pitch that correspond, for example, to that of a Controlled Collapse Chip Connection (“C4”) structure formed on a chip, and a lower surface having contacts with increased pitch that correspond, for example, to a printed circuit board employing ball grid array (“BGA”) pads. A series of power, signal and ground conductors extend through the body of the redistribution package and interconnect the circuit board contacts to the chip contacts.

摘要： The invention relates generally to a method of power supply noise and signal integrity analysis for creating frequency-dependent electrical models particularly related to microelectronic packages. The method discloses creation of equivalent circuits for geometries encountered in a typical chip package, including how to partition the geometry into cells which are less then 1/20 the minimum wavelength (λ) in size, and how to handle signal and power supply vias, signal wires, and power planes. The method also instructs how to assign values to each of the inductors, capacitors, resistors, and transmission lines in each equivalent circuit. The method further provides modeling of only those interactions which occur between adjacent cells.

The TIA may be integrated in a CMOS chip and the source followers may comprise CMOS transistors. The TIA may receive current-mode logic or voltage signals. The electrical signals may be received from a photodetector, which may comprise a silicon germanium photodiode and may be differentially coupled to the TIA.

摘要： An integrated control system for a laser and Mach-Zehnder interferometer are disclosed and may include configuring a bias point for low-speed control of an optical modulator utilizing control circuitry integrated on the same CMOS die. The optical modulator may be differentially monitored. A laser source for the modulator may be controlled utilizing monitor photodiodes via optical taps on outputs of the modulator, or utilizing a monitor photodiode on one output port of the modulator, which may comprise a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. An error signal may be generated by subtracting monitor photodiode signals from optical taps on output ports of the modulator. The bias point of the modulator may be adjusted by minimizing the error signal. Calibration time of the bias point may be reduced utilizing electronic data inversion. An output of the modulator may comprise a Y-junction and a single monitor photodiode may measure both branches of the modulator.

摘要： A container (1) with separate sealed compartments for different substances. The container (1) comprises separate and relatively sealed first (A), second (B) and third (C) compartments. The first compartment (A) receives a first substance (such as colorant); the second compartment (B) receives a second substance (such as a developing solution); and the third compartment (C) defines a mixing volume for receiving the first and second substances from the first and second compartments. A rupturable portion adjoins the third compartment (C) and separates the first and second compartments (A, B), from the third compartment so that in use, when the a rupturable portion is ruptured substances from the first and second compartments (A, B) can pass to the third compartment (C). A passage (16) is provided in a wall of the third compartment (C) along an edge not shared with either of the first or second compartments. The passage (16) leads to a first opening that is opened by a first opening means (6) which when opened, permits controlled release of a user defined amount of the first and/or second substances; and the third compartment (C) has a second opening with a second opening means (66) which enables at least one of the sheets to be opened in order to access the third compartment (C) and remove first and/or second substances therefrom.
