The Time Value of Design

As processor based products become more pervasive in the industry, it seems that the time required to get a new product to market is lengthening. A major time period of getting the product to market is during the product development stage. Over my career I have seen the product development process taking from 12 months to 2 or more years. Our direction at Octavo has been to help you reduce your development time to production ramp by using system in package (SiP) technology. (Read More…)

SiP Technology: A solution to a passive problem

 

It is always interesting when a new integration concept like System in Package (SiP) technology gives opportunity to innovate beyond the obvious. One of those opportunities which has no effect on system designers or component designers but is unique to a SiP designer is the handling of the bulk and bypass capacitors.

But before we get to the topic of capacitor reduction, let me take a moment to remind all of us of some of those new integration concepts:

  • Point to Point wiring (PtP): this concept is still being used in guitar amplifiers. Figure 1 will remind you of the concept.
  • Printed Circuit boards (PCB). Once components could be attached to a PCB, PtP began to take a back seat. Note Figure 1 also has a PCB included.
  • Integrated circuits with the ultimate being a System on Chip (SoC)
  • System in Package (SiP)
