South Korea Plans to Build the World's Largest Semiconductor Industry Supply Chain

Image
  South Korea announces 2.9 trillion yuan strategic plan to build the world's largest semiconductor industry supply chain. According to Yonhap News Agency, the South Korean government held the " K-Semiconductor Strategy Report Conference " at Samsung Electronics' Pyeongtaek Plant on the 13th, and announced a strategic plan aimed at achieving the goal of a comprehensive semiconductor powerhouse. Specifically, the South Korean government will work with related companies to build the world’s largest semiconductor industry supply chain in China by 2030-the " K-Semiconductor Industrial Belt ", and establish a collection of semiconductor production, raw materials, components, equipment and cutting-edge equipment. High-efficiency industrial clusters integrating, design, etc. As the core content of this strategic plan, the industrial supply chain is vertically connected with Banqiao, Qixing, Hwaseong, Pyeongtaek, Onyang and other cities from the north to the west, a...

Working principle of the operational amplifier

Operational amplifiers are abbreviated as operational amplifiers. Because they were used in analog computers in the early days to realize mathematical operations, they were named "operational amplifiers." It is mainly used in analog circuits, such as amplifiers, comparators, and analog operation units, which are devices often used by electronic engineers. An operational amplifier is a circuit unit with a very high amplification factor. In actual circuits, a certain functional module is usually combined with a feedback network. It is an amplifier with a special coupling circuit and feedback. The output signal can be the result of mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, differentiation, and integration of the input signal. An op-amp is a circuit unit named from the point of view of function, which can be realized by a discrete device or in a semiconductor chip. With the development of semiconductor technology, most operational amplifiers exist in the form of a si...

The development history of digital isolator

 Analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC) have existed since the beginning of the digital era. Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, Texas Instruments (TI) took the lead in launching single-chip digital signal processors (DSP), which are needed by engineers to design systems and can easily surpass the effectiveness of analog components. Early data converters had relatively slow speeds and used parallel interfaces to connect DSPs or processors. With the advancement of process technology, the speed and dynamic range (number of bits) of data converters have also improved, so a faster and wider bus is required. In today's modern data converters, the conversion rate of Gigasample is much higher than 12 bits per second. When converted into a bus transmission rate, it exceeds 1.5 billion bytes per second. Therefore, when engineers use printed circuit boards to connect DSP, processor, or field-programmable gate array (FPGA), they will encounter challenges. ...
