The IntegratedCircuit Topography Act An Act to provide for the protection of integratedcircuit topographies and to amend certain Acts in consequence thereof , C 37 is legislation passed by the Parliament of Canada in 1990 that regulates the intellectual property of mask work integratedcircuit topographies . It came into force in 1993. The Act provides exclusive right s for the creator of the integratedcircuit topography and remedies to deter infringement. The exclusive right is transferable. To receive the exclusive right to an integratedcircuit topography the topography must be registered at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office . Between 1993 and 1999 there were about 38 registrations under the Act. IntegratedCircuit Topographies ICT are electronic integrated circuits or IC products that are configured and interconnected. These creations are protected in Canada by the IntegratedCircuit Topography Act, which gives the creator exclusive rights for a period of ten years after registration. Because products containing these circuits are often exported outside Canada, Canada has reciprocal agreements with other countries that also protect the design for ten years.

File Layoutentwurf.png thumb Integratedcircuit layout design Integratedcircuit layout , also known IC layout , IC mask layout , or mask design , is the representation of an integratedcircuit in terms of planar geometric shape s which correspond to the patterns of metal , silicon oxide oxide , or semiconductor layers that make up the components of the integratedcircuit. When using a standard process where the interaction of the many chemical, thermal, and photographic variables are known and carefully controlled the behaviour of the final integratedcircuit depends largely on the positions and interconnections of the geometric shapes. A layout engineer s job is to place and connect all the components that make up a chip so that they meet all criteria. Typical are performance, size, and manufacturability. The layout must pass a series of checks in a process known as physical verification. The most common checks in this verification process are Design rule checking design rule checking DRC , Layout versus schematic layout versus schematic LVS , parasitic extraction, antenna rule checking, and electrical rule checking ERC . ref A.

A hybrid integratedcircuit , HIC , hybrid microcircuit , or simply hybrid is a miniaturized electronic circuit constructed of individual devices, such as semiconductor devices e.g. transistor s and diode s and passive components e.g. resistor s, inductor s, transformer s, and capacitor s , bonded to a substrate or printed circuit board PCB . Hybrid circuits are often encapsulated in epoxy , as shown in the photo. A hybrid circuit serves as a component on a PCB in the same way as a monolithic integratedcircuit the difference between the two types of devices is in how they are constructed and manufactured. The advantage of hybrid circuits is that components which cannot be included in a monolithic IC can be used, e.g., capacitors of large value, wound components, crystals. Thick film technology is often used as the interconnecting medium for hybrid integrated circuits. The use of screen printed thick film interconnect provides advantages of versatility over thin film although feature sizes may be larger and deposited resistors wider in tolerance. Multi layer thick film is a technique for further improvements in integration using a screen printed insulating dielectric to ensure connections between layers are made only where required. One key advantage for the circuit designer is complete freedom in the choice of resistor value in thick film technology. Planar resistors are also ... and can be adjusted by laser trimming .

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date October 2009 The integratedcircuit IC development process is complex and arduous. The high level process for developing an integratedcircuit starts with defining product requirements, progresses through architectural definition, implementation, bringup and finally productization. The various phases of the integratedcircuit development process are described below. Although the phases are presented here in a straightforward fashion, in reality there is iteration and these steps may occur multiple times. Requirements Before an architecture can be defined some high level product goals must be defined. The requirement s are usually generated by a cross functional team that addresses market opportunity , customer needs, wiktionary feasibility feasibility and much more. This phase should result in a product requirements document . Architecture The architecture defines the fundamental structure, goals and principles of the product. It defines high level concepts and the intrinsic value proposition of the product. Architecture teams take into account many variables and interface with many groups. People creating the architecture generally have a significant amount of experience dealing with systems in the area for which the architecture is being created. The work product of the architecture phase is an architectural specification . Micro architecture The micro architecture is a step closer to the hardware . It implements the architecture and defines specific mechanisms and structures for achieving that implementation. The result of the micro architecture phase is a micro architecture specification which describes the methods used to implement the architecture. Implementation In the implementation phase the design itself is created using ... when trying to mass produce those designs. The integratedcircuit IC must be ramped up to production ...

IEPE is the standard for piezoelectric transducers and is also an acronym for Integrated electronics piezo electric. ref cite web title IEPE Standard date 2008 url http www.mmf.de iepe standard.htm accessdate 2008 23 June ref ICP identifies PCB sensors that incorporate built in, signal conditioning electronics. The built in electronics convert the high impedance charge signal that is generated by the piezoelectric sensing element into a usable low impedance voltage signal that can be readily transmitted, over ordinary two wire or coaxial cables, to any voltage readout or recording device. The low impedance signal can be transmitted over long cable distances and used in dirty field or factory environments with little degradation. In addition to providing crucial impedance conversion, ICP sensor circuitry can also include other signal conditioning features, such as gain, filtering, and self test features. The simplicity of use, high accuracy, broad frequency range, and low cost of ICP accelerometers make them the recommended type for use in most vibration or shock applications. However, an exception to this assertion must be made for circumstances in which the temperature, at the installation point, exceeds the capability of the built in circuitry.

A small outline integratedcircuit SOIC is a Surface mount technology surface mounted integratedcircuit IC package which occupies an area about 30 50 less than an equivalent dual in line package DIP , with a typical thickness that is 70 less. They are generally available in the same pinout s as their counterpart DIP ICs. The convention for naming the package is SOIC or sometimes just SO followed by the number of pins. For example, a 14 pin 4011 would be housed in an SOIC 14 or SO 14 package. Small outline J leaded package SOJ is a version of SOIC with J type leads instead of gull wing leads. ref http www.siliconfareast.com packages.htm ref JEDEC and EIAJ standards SOIC actually refers to at least two different package standards. The Electronic Industries Association of Japan EIAJ SOIC body is approximately convert 5.3 mm in abbr on wide while the JEDEC SOIC body is approximately convert 3.8 mm in abbr on wide. The EIAJ packages are also thicker and slightly longer. Otherwise the packages are similar. Note that because of this, SOIC is not specific enough of a term to describe parts which are interchangeable. Many electronic retailers will list parts in either package as SOIC whether they are referring to the JEDEC or EIAJ standards. The wider EIAJ packages are more common with higher pin count ICs, but there is no guarantee that an SOIC package with any number of pins will be either one or the other. General package characteristics This package is shorter and narrower than DIPs, the side to side pitch being 6 mm for an SOIC 14 from lead tip to lead tip and the body width being 3.9 mm. These dimensions differ depending on the SOIC in question, and there are several variants. This package has gull wing leads protruding from the two long sides and a lead spacing of 0.050 in 1.27 mm .
