Abstract:
AC-3 is a high quality audio compression format widely used in feature films and, more recently, on Digital Versatile Disks (DVD). For consumer applications the algorithm is usually coded into the firmware of a DSP Processor, which due to cost considerations may be capable of only fixed point arithmetic. It is generally assumed that 16-bit processing is incapable of delivering the high fidelity audio, expected from the AC-3 technology. Double precision computation can be utilized on such processors to provide the high quality; but the computational burden of such implementation will be beyond the capacity of the processor to enable real-time operation. Through extensive simulation study of a high quality AC-3 encoder implementation, a multi-precision technique for each processing block is presented whereby the quality of the encoder on a 16-bit processor matches the single precision 24-bit implementation very closely without excessive additional computational complexity.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to at least one semiconductor package including a die (204) within an encapsulant (202) having a first sidewall, an adhesive layer (222) on the encapsulant and having a second sidewall coplanar with the first sidewall of the encapsulant, and an insulating layer (226) on the adhesive layer having a third sidewall coplanar with the first sidewall and the second sidewall. A method of manufacturing the at least one semiconductor package includes forming an insulating layer on a temporary adhesion layer of a carrier, forming an adhesive layer on the insulating layer, and forming a plurality of openings through the adhesive layer and the insulating layer. The plurality of openings through the adhesive layer and the insulating layer may be formed by exposing the adhesive layer and the insulating layer to a laser.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit is formed having an array of memory cells located in the dielectric stack above a semiconductor substrate. Each memory cell has an adjustable resistor and a heating element. A dielectric material separates the heating element from the adjustable resistor. The heating element alters the resistance of the resistor by applying heat thereto. The magnitude of the resistance of the adjustable resistor represents the value of data stored in the memory cell.
