Title: Look at all those buckets.... (BBD die shot)
Post by: somnif on May 26, 2019, 07:57:47 PM
Just something I found "kinda neat", someone decided to uncap an mn3207 and take a high def shot of the actual chip die. Take a look at 1024 stages of delay power:

And of course, you need a clock to drive that badboy:

That is awesome, although it does bring back nightmares of having to review layouts for raw die.  Talk about tedious.

if you turn it 90 degrees the BBD looks like really beautiful amp grillcloth!

I actually have a couple of his shots hanging on the walls of my workshop and in my office. Some of these look really amazing with great colors. Always fun when somebody asks for the artist. ;D

That's awesome.  Really visually underscores the whole "bucket brigade" concept.

Looks like the diode sections of the Synthi Hi Fli.
