When I worked at Delco Electronics back in the '80s and '90s, we built a lot of "little black boxes" that had an alumina ceramic substrate as this device does. We called them "Hybrids." An older book I read some years back called these "Hybrid integrated circuits." People at Delco scoffed at this term. Not only does it have a low coefficient of expansion, it is very rugged as far as vibration goes. It can also withstand temperatures that circuit boards can't. We made hybrids that could survive bolted to a car or boat engine.

This is exceptionally interesting! Nice to see how a ic is in fact a little like a pcb out of transistormaterial. So clear to understand with that schematic to the end of this video, I really learned from it so thanx good man!

Very nice video 👍

Thanks for covering the bar charts and CMOS. I'd love to see a video on reversing standard cells from poly and metal layers. The best part about CMOS is that you only need to RE half the cell to understand what it does. Excluding flip flops and the like of course.

Another great teardown as always, super interesting to see, my only issue is it was hard to follow your pointer as you moved around the die

Indeed, i lost that pointer too many times because its too little

wow ... thanks

Why are the die marking text all linked to one bus bar?

This is so awesome and amazing. Good work, we all learned something today:)

Perfect! This video was perfect. Keep it this way!

very interesting video. thanks :)

There is an awesome Seiko museum in Ginza in Tokyo.

i didn’t think that there would be a chip

That was awesome thanks for sharing

Great, thank you

Very interesting having the logic gates big enough that you can actually see what's going on... So I've recently done a project with the MT3608 and that got me thinking about the internals of this sort of integrated boost converter do you think you could do an analysis/teardown on one of those?

That's the chip that NPCs have in their head 😁

When EEVBlog made a video about EMC compliance, he showed that his Gigatron computer's 1MHz clock had a 8MHz oscillator whose frequency was later divided by 8.
