"CCU #239: Evacuated Miniature Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator Manufacturer: Vectron Part Number: EX-380-DAF-107A Package Size: [----] x [----] x [---] - An Evacuated Miniature Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (EMXO) is an improvement on more traditional oven controlled crystal oscillator designs (OCXO). OCXOs use an oven-like environment to provide a constant temperature to the crystal oscillator. Typically a crystal oscillators output frequency can vary significantly over temperature. Maintaining the crystal in a controlled temperature environment keeps the output frequency extremely stable"

"Analog Devices AD14160 - The Quad SHARC This interesting part caught my eye when I came across it in a scrap circuit board listing on Ebay. These parts turned out to be the AD14160 also referred to as the Quad SHARC. This is because it actually contains four ADSP-21060 SHARC cores inside of it. These SHARC chips have a hidden silicon doodle of a shark on them. In this video I open up one of these AD14160 parts for viewing under the microscope. I also did a bit of digging and learned about the circuit board that it was soldered to. Timestamps:"

This chip is the SIL154CT64 PanelLink transceiver from Silicon Image and was given the codename Milhouse. As such it includes a silicon doodle of Milhouses face.

I was able to get into the part by using a Dremel with a burr tip to remove the seam weld holding the lid in place. Unfortunately I was unable to find a datasheet for this part.

"An interesting #AMD silicon wafer I purchased this wafer from Ebay and it arrived well packaged which is good because this wafer is even more fragile than most. That is because this wafer has been through a process in silicon wafer manufacturing known as Backgrinding. - This process grinds away the backside of the wafer until the desired thickness is reached. You can generally tell this has been done based on the pattern on the back of the wafer. Looking at sources on the internet typical wafers may be around 750m thick whereas a ground wafer would be about 1/10th of that (50-75m). I seem to"

"MEMS Micro Manipulator Prototype I picked up these as part of a lot of a few different MEMs prototype devices from a listing on Ebay. The consensus is that this is a type of micro manipulator essentially a linear actuator. From the side we can see the part of this device that moves. I can demonstrate the movement by pressing on it with a [--] gauge needle. Normally a voltage would be applied to the pads on the bottom left to cause the combs structures to attract to one another moving the actuator. I would hypothesize that changing the polarity of the voltage would probably change the direction"

"CRM200 - A MEMS Vibrating Structure #Gyroscope The CRM200 is a silicon MEMS vibrating structure(ring) gyroscope. The stack-up of this part actually consists of a MEMS ring on top of the main ASIC via a small silicon spacer. The bond wires you see are coming from the top of the MEMS ring go through open spaces in the ring and then are bonded directly to the ASIC. There are actuators/transducers that are located around the outer perimeter of the ring via traces that go along the spokes. These transducers detect the radial motion caused by either the set of primary drive actuators or by what is"

There are some rather large chips on this silicon wafer and there might actually be more stuff in the margins in between each chip then there are actual chips on it. Its in these margins where the doodle lives. In order to see it thought we need the help of a microscope. Sitting next to some test circuits is a Tiger with the text GEUAX DSC. Unfortunately this is an unfinished wafer. The back of the wafer says DS2256"
