What are the three main types of chip architecture?

 ARM is short for Advanced RISC Machine, which is a 32-bit lean instruction set architecture, but is also equipped with a 16-bit instruction set, generally saving up to 35% over the equivalent 32-bit code, while retaining all the advantages of a 32-bit system.


 



The main features of ARM processors are.

 

(1) Small size, low power consumption, low cost, high performance - the most important reason why ARM is widely used in embedded systems Support for Thumb (16-bit)/ARM (32-bit) dual instruction set, which is well compatible with 8-bit/16-bit devices.

 

(2) Extensive use of registers for faster instruction execution.

 

(3) Most data operations are done in registers.

 

(4) Flexible and simple addressing methods and high execution efficiency.

 

(5) Instruction length is fixed.

 

(6) Load_store structure: In RISC, all calculations are required to be done in the registers. And the communication between registers and memory is done by separate instructions. And in CSIC, the CPU is able to operate on memory directly. Streamline processing method.

 

   2. MIPS MIPS architecture (an abbreviation for Microprocessor without interlocked piped stages architecture, also related to Millions of Instructions Per Second), is a processor architecture that takes a streamlined instruction set (RISC), emerged in 1981, developed and licensed by MIPS Technologies, and is widely used in many electronic products, networking devices, and other applications. It is widely used in many electronic products, networking devices, personal entertainment devices, and business devices. The earliest MIPS architecture was 32-bit, and the latest version has become 64-bit.

The basic features of MIPS are.

 

(1) contains a large number of registers, instruction numbers, and characters.

 

(2) Visual pipeline delay time slots.

 

These features allow the MIPS architecture to deliver the highest performance per square millimeter and the lowest power consumption of any SoC design today.

 

  3. X86 The X86 architecture is a generic term for a microprocessor architecture designed and manufactured by the chip giant Intel. If you don't understand this, then I'm sure you will when I say words like 8086, 80286, etc. It is based on this that the name X86 architecture is widely known. Today, most of the PCs we use are X86 architecture. This shows the popularity of X86 architecture, which is also closely related to Intel's dominant position. The x86 uses the CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) architecture. Unlike RISC, in a CISC processor, the instructions of a program are executed sequentially and serially, and the individual operations in each instruction are executed sequentially and serially. The advantage of sequential execution is simple to control, but the utilization of each part of the computer is not high and the execution speed is slow.

The biggest problem with the latest 56 semiconductor manufacturers suspend orders, price increased, and long lead time. How can you fix it?

 Following the suspension of MCU orders by ELAN , Holtek Semiconductor issued a notice on 21st April suspending orders with immediate effect. The price of various semiconductors, especially MCUs, has risen as a result of factors such as the tightness of 8-inch wafer foundries. The demand for MCUs is so high that many major MCU manufacturers at home and abroad are operating at full capacity, but supply still exceeds demand. In its notice, Holtek  Semiconductor stated that Suspension of orders for 2022 Subject: Orders with delivery dates in 2022 are suspended with immediate effect.   Description: 1. The wafer fabs and packaging houses have advised that there will be another wave of price increases soon - price increases of 15%-30%. 2. The fabs are expected to provide 2022 production numbers by early May and will announce 2022 order acceptance rules when confirmed.   3. expected to resume accepting orders for 2022 by mid-May. 4. 2022 orders that have received deposits will be rescheduled

Understanding of DC-DC buck bootstrap circuit

In the peripheral circuit design of DC-DC BUCK chips, we usually add capacitors or a combination of capacitors + resistors between the BOOT and SW pins, this piece of circuit is called bootstrap circuit, the capacitors and resistors in the bootstrap circuit are called bootstrap capacitors and bootstrap resistors.   What is a bootstrap capacitor?   DCDC Buck chip has a pin called BOOT, and some are called BST. The following is an explanation of the BOOT pin of a DCDC chip. In the external circuit design, a capacitor, generally 0.1uF, is needed between the BOOT and SW pin, and is connected to the driver end of the high-end MOS tube of DCDC.     How does a bootstrap capacitor work?   The following is a block diagram of a DCDC BUCK chip, the top NMOS is called the high-side MOSFET and the bottom NMOS is called the low-side MOSFET.     When the high side MOS tube is turned on, SW is VIN, SW charges and stores energy in the inductor, and the inductor current is rising; when the low side MOS

2022 global chip shortage continues: ST、NXP、ADI、XILINX、ONSEMI、DIODES... latest trends

Under the influence of the epidemic and various emergencies around the world, the global chip industry fell into a shortage of stock in 2021. Now it has been a year, and the shortage of chips seems to have not eased. Below, we have collated the latest market developments of the original chip manufacturers such as ST, Renesas, NXP, ADI, ON Semiconductor, Microchip, Qualcomm, etc., so that you can have a good idea of the market situation. ST: Large shortage of high-end products and automotive chips Most stockists have been selling off since the prices of ST  products have fallen back, but this month has seen a small rebound. For example, STM8S003F3P6TR  and STM32F103VCT6 , two pieces of material, have seen a small price increase. It is worth noting that the market price of ST's brake system chips has recently soared, and other automotive chips have also risen, and there is still a large shortage of high-end products and automotive chips, and delivery times are still long.   In additi

Teach you 5 ways to identify and avoid counterfeit electronic components in a second

In the process of purchasing electronic components, the most worrying thing for buyers is not the price, but the quality of the product. There are a variety of IC chips on the market, of all kinds, and without paying attention to the distinction, it is sometimes difficult to see the difference between various materials, whether it is true or false, new or refurbished. The following is a compilation of some methods to identify genuine and fake chips, for your reference. Common chip counterfeiting methods Material A counterfeit material A Original manufacturer's tailor loose material: the original packaging has been disassembled or is no longer available, but product functionality and yield may be lower due to storage time or handling process, etc. Original manufacturer scrap or defective products: mainly products that have not passed factory inspection by the original manufacturer, such as scrap products after reliability testing, poor packaging quality, bad test products, etc. Orig

9 effective ways to improve your electronic components specification for approval

1. Let purchasers find manufacturers to provide specifications, safety information, environmental protection information, insurance information - E-document 2. Verify that the information is true and complete, such as the applicable period of the document, so as not to be fooled by the manufacturer. 3. Let the buyer find the manufacturer to provide samples, specifications, safety information, environmental information, insurance information - Paper files 4. Environmental test: send several samples to the environmental laboratory for ROSH halogen test. 5. Electrical specifications and high-temperature testing - e.g. electrolytic capacitors :  A: measuring capacity and deviation withstand voltage, PIN foot tin is good B: go through the production line to see if the capacitors are deformed after the high temperature of the furnace and if the capacity and the deviation voltage are okay. 6. Body size check - e.g. electrolytic capacitors . Body height and diameter, PIN pin spacing, PIN pin d
