Electronic Stuff

This is the beginning of a newly reworked section on Electronics and hardware engineering. Very embryonic (means empty - reflecting the state of our minds) but it will reflect some new hardware developments we are undertaking. We would also suggest you look at this 6 volume series of books by Tony R Kuphaldt 'Lessons in Electric Circuits' published under the OpenBook initiative (means its free).

Glossary	Definitions of some electronic terms. Big page.
3.3V and 5V	The results of some experiments we ran when trying to isolate an MPC855T from that nasty 5V stuff which has a tendency to blow the chip up.
BDM	BDM interfaces for the Motorola PowerPC and Coldfire.
Equations	Some simple electrical equations. Mostly under construction.
Symbols	Some electrical symbols. Mostly under construction.
BGA Layout	When we first tried to run a layout with a big BGA (MPC855T) it was a disaster (ORCAD with Auto-router). But it can be done with a semi-automatic fanout - then let the auto-router rip - works perfectly.
