International Classification:

H01L023/34
H01L021/48

US Classification:

257727000, 257690000, 257784000, 438117000

Abstract:

An integrated circuit assembly includes a lead frame having a plurality of leads with inner portions. A thermally-conductive clip member is bonded to the inner portions of the leads such that the clip member is electrically isolated from and yet thermally coupled to the lead frame. An integrated circuit die is bonded and thereby thermally coupled to the clip member. The die is electrically connected to the wire die by wire bonds. Encapsulant material is disposed over the inner portions of the leads and at least a portion of the clip member, and encapsulates the die and the wire bonds.

SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLC - Cupertino CA, US
Stephen R. Martin - Louisville CO, US

Assignee:

SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY LLC - SCOTTS VALLEY CA

International Classification:

F16C 32/06

US Classification:

384100

Abstract:

Accurately formed critical tolerance fit components are provided for fluid dynamic bearing motors, including disc drive memory systems. In an aspect, critical tolerance fit components are molded to a metal insert and include a portion of a hub, a disc seating surface, and a disc locating surface. The insert includes another portion of a hub, a sleeve, or a disc clamp retainer for a novel disc clamp. In an aspect, the plastic component is situated to cause the thermal expansion of the plastic to be restricted by the thermal expansion of a metal insert. Expensive machining of a stamped metal hub is minimized or eliminated by using the molded component portions. Strict component tolerances are provided as needed for perpendicularity relative to motor rotation for seating a disc with accurate flatness, a circumferential surface for centering the disc, and tight parallelism between a disc mounting surface and a center shaft.

Assignee:

Apple Computer, Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

H03K 1716

US Classification:

326 30

Abstract:

A diagnostic apparatus for testing devices such as computer systems, and computer system components such as disk drives or printers. The device comprises a main unit, the main unit having a central processing unit for executing instructions, issuing commands, and receiving data from a first device. The apparatus also has a first peripheral unit coupled to the main unit, the first peripheral unit having ports for interfacing with the first device, the first peripheral unit being interchangeable with a second peripheral unit for interfacing with a second device. The apparatus also comprises a first non-volatile memory unit coupled to the main unit. The first non-volatile memory unit comprising a first set of tests for the first device, the first non-volatile memory unit being interchangeable with a second non-volatile memory unit comprising a second set of tests for a second device. These interchangeable parts are provided so that the user may test various types of hardware. The apparatus further comprises software means for providing termination on a bus and methods for simulating devices on a bus for remote entry into diagnostic programs.

Assignee:

Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

H02M 3155

US Classification:

363 60

Abstract:

A new and improved voltage multiplier circuit is provided which converts a relatively low voltage to a relatively high voltage without any undesirable voltage drops across any of the constituent components. A plurality of the disclosed voltage multiplier circuits may be cascaded together to increase the multiplied output voltage, wherein each multiplier stage of the cascaded circuits multiplies the input voltage by two.
