SparkFun Electronics Eagle Libraries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sparkfun-electronics-eagle-libraries/
Sparkfun has their own Eagle libraries available on github.com. This is a great resource for new board designs. They also have a guide on how to install the libraries and how to create custom footprints. This is the complete SparkFun Electronics default foot prints for Eagle 6.0+. We switched to Eagle back in 2006 and […]
Mikron 1663RU1 – 16 Mibit SRAM Die-Shot
https://www.electronics-lab.com/mikron-1663ru1-16-mibit-sram-weekend-die-shot/
Here is a die-shot, this time it’s a 1663RU1 from Russia’s Mikron semiconductor manufacturer. At the time of its release this was Russia’s first 90nm chip (by comparison 14nm is now available). Mikron is currently the most advanced microelectronic fab in Russia, located in Zelenograd. In 2010 they have licensed 90nm technology from STMicroelectronics, and equipment […]
