The semiconductor shortage has curtailed the choices available to designers and caused some inventive solutions to be found, but the one used by [djzc] is probably the most inventive we’ve yet seen.

To be put simply, the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP) is everything on a chip. Gone are the days where you bought a large router – let’s pick on the 7200-series – and also had to buy ...

With a nod to user frustration, the CL-QFE44SE-T-01 test adapter clip allows probing of a 44-pin, 0.8-mm pitch QFP device with reliable spring pins. Probing is accomplished with the target chip in ...

The adapter enables probing with a chip in place—it doesn't require unsoldering of the target IC. The QFE44SE-T-01 uses spring pins rated for up to 500,000 actuations. An inexpensive, replaceable ...

Chang Wah Technology (CWTC) has seen the visibility of QFP (quad flat package) leadframe orders extended, buoyed by strong demand for automotive, industrial and network communication chips ...
