We visited flexible PCB factory also run by Kings Creddie. Flexible PCBs are currently used in a lot of research projects at the Media Lab. For example, a sensor tape, which is a sensor network with a form factor of a tape. (see here). Mainly, we wanted to learn why flexible PCBs are more expensive than rigid PCBs. It turns flex PCB manufacturing is more expensive because they involve a lot of manual labor. The boards have to be handled and aligned by hand since they are hard to handle. Also the size of the panel is smaller (typically 24 x 24 cm ), so the yield is lower. The process of flex PCB manufacturing is similar to rigid, but actually involves less chemicals.

As circuits find their way into more and more real-world environments, the old standard circuitry isn’t always up to the task. It wasn’t that long ago that a computer needed special power, cooling, and a large room. Now those computers wouldn’t cut it for the top-of-the-line smartphone. However, most modern circuits don’t bend well and don’t like getting wet.

An international team of researchers is developing chemical-based circuitry that uses gold nanoparticles and electrically charged organic molecules to build circuit elements that behave like semiconductor diode junctions. It’s simple to make flexible circuits that don’t mind being wet using this chemical soup.

In an interview with IEEE Spectrum, the developers mentioned that other circuit elements similar to transistors and light sensors should be possible. The circuits aren’t perfect, however. The switching speed needs improvement. Also, while conventional circuits don’t like to get wet, these chemical circuits have difficulties if things get dry. Still, like all technology, things will probably improve over time.

This technology needs a good bit of engineering refinement before it is practical. If you need flexible photosensitive circuits in the near term, you might try here. Meanwhile, waterproof circuitry just needs the right kind of enclosure.

miniQFN10 with Ultra-Thin 0.35mm Profile
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today introduced a new 1.4 mm by 1.8 mm miniQFN10
package with an ultra-thin 0.35 mm profile, providing a space-saving alternative
to larger miniQFN10 and WCSP devices commonly used in portable applications. The
new Vishay Siliconix DG2592 audio jack detector and DG2750 low-voltage dual SPDT
analog switch are the first devices in a new family of solutions to feature the
enhanced package.

Released in 2009, the Zune HD 16-Gbyte portable media player from Microsoft is powered by Nvidia’s Tegra processor. The device features a 3.3-in.-diagonal OLED display with 480 x 272-pixel resolution in 16:9-format, HD-compatible video, built-in HD radio receiver for HD2/HD3 channels, full-screen Internet browsing, and Wi-Fi. The 74-g, 102.1- (H) x 52.7 (W) x 8.9 (D)-mm device holds up to 25,000 pictures, 4,000 songs, five hours of high definition video from Zune Marketplace, or 22 hours of video optimized for device.

The teardown analysis service from IHS provides complete, detailed analyses of electronic devices by performing complete teardowns of devices. IHS delivers a complete assessment of all electronic, electromechanical, and mechanical components. This IHS service is the ultimate competitive benchmarking tool – providing the highest quality view available of the design and manufacturing of competing device models, as well as the costs to build the equipment.

Typical miniQFN10 and WCSP packages feature profiles of 0.55 mm. The new ultrathin
miniQFN10 package of the DG2592 and DG2750 is 36 % thinner, saving valuable
PCB space and allowing for slimmer end products, including handheld healthcare
instruments, smartphones, tablets, portable media players, digital cameras, and
wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Compared to WCSP packages, the enhanced
miniQFN10 offers easier surface mounting and is better suited for the flexible
PCBs commonly utilized in portable designs. The package exceeds current RoHS
standards and is completely lead (Pb)-free.

Texas Instruments has a long history of providing expertise and superior products to audio and video market. TI's comprehensive solutions cover the entire video chain, everything from the initial capture of video content to the final viewing experience. The core subsystems include:

OMAP35x Processor: Based on the market's first broad offering of the superscalar ARM® Cortex™-A8 core to provide an unprecedented combination of laptop-like performance at handheld power levels in a single chip. Together with the NEON™ SIMD coprocessor, the OMAP35x application processor is capable of processing a wide range of A/V signals.
Digital Video Input: Comes from the analog video decoder or the CMOS/CCD camera. The analog video decoder converts the NTSC/PAL/S-Video analog input to raw digital video.
Stereo Audio Codec: Converts the analog audio input from microphone, FM receiver, and stereo audio line source into digital audio. Newer generation TI audio codecs, such as the TLV320AIC3254, process sound with better audio quality and longer battery life.
CCIR656 Bus: Inputs the raw digital video to the processing core.
Serial Interface: Performs file transfer with the host computer via USB, RS232, and JTAG serial interfaces.
Memory Interface: Handles a variety of direct memory interfaces with various portable memory media including compact flash card, SD card, MMC card, memory stick, etc.
IDE Interface: Handles data transfer with a hard drive storage.
User Interface: Allows the user to control the PMP using the keypad, IR remote control, or the touch screen.
Power Conversion: Converts input power (battery or wall plug) to run various functional blocks.

HACKADAY PRIZE SEMIFINALIST: BENDY SOLAR BLUETOOTH TAGS
September 1, 2015 by Brian Benchoff 11 Comments
Last January, [DrYerzina]’s sister couldn’t find her cat. The family searched the neighborhood for two hours until the cat came out from underneath a bed, proving once again cats own humans, not the other way around. A solution to this problem would come in the form of technology, specifically as [DrYerzinia]’s entry for the Hackaday Prize, a solar-powered Bluetooth tracking device. Yes, you can go on Amazon or eBay and buy a BLE tracker, but this version comes in a handy package: it’s built of a flexible circuit board to fit just about everywhere, including on the collar of a cat.

[DrYerzina]’s Bluetooth tracker is built around an Bluetooth LE module, with a few added passives, LEDs, and other parts glued and soldered onto a double sided, flexible PCB. To this, he’s added a flexible solar cell and a flexible LiPo battery. All of this is stuffed inside an enclosure 3D printed in flexible filament.

While the Hackaday Prize is filled with wearables, [DrYerzina]’s project is at the forefront of hombrew wearable technology. Nowhere else in the prize have we seen a dedication to making a device that bends. The best part is, he’s actually building a useful device; with just 15 minutes of sunlight a day (a condition very likely for a sleeping cat), this Bluetooth tag can work for weeks

The raw materials for the flexible PCB. The roll of yellow base material (polyimide) is seen on the right. The machine laminates the copper foil onto the base material. An adhesive (white roll) is used to hold the layers together.
