An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release Board assemblies stretch PCB performance from Endicott Interconnect Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Complex PC board assemblies from Endicott Interconnect Technologies (EI) are providing solutions for customers who face challenges as they stretch the boundaries of PCB performance. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SoC cuts the cost of GPON deployment from Freescale Semiconductor: "Data path engine and Power Architecture technologies combine to provide high data forwarding throughput rates for the delivery of video and data broadband content.".

In March 2008, we covered the news from Toshiba Electronics Europe - take a look at ASIC family uses 65nm CMOS process which says: "The TC320 ASIC family combines a low-k dielectric with up to eight levels of copper and one level of aluminium interconnect.".

Take a look also at the news release from BitWave Semiconductor , Programmable transceiver covers a broad band, as well as Chinese plant gears up for high volumes from Endicott Interconnect Technologies, and PC boards suit mainframe use from Endicott Interconnect Technologies.
