Hi Everyone,
We've been very busy recently, unfortunately I couldn't catch up with the forums. There is a correction to be made: Chips are not and were not flawed. We decided to add certain clock buffers to improve noise-resistance and possibly increase frequency even further. The improve in noise resistance was our real goal (average frequency increase across a full wafer can be a bi-product). The decision was made to increase the near 100% chance of success even more. We'll keep you posted. If you had any questions, please let us know.
Regards,
Nasser
So just what is a clock buffer? What does one do, where is BFL likely to be adding them to their product, how many will they be adding, and why that number and location?
From the name, I can imagine some of the things one might do. I could just google it, but discussing it here sounds like more fun.
Discuss.
