@azonenberg@ioc.exchange @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems flux residue also causes spurs in PLLs as the leakage current drains the loop filter between charge pump pulses.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems coming in with zero knowledge is key to fixing some things.

@dlharmon@chaos.social I agree though, it is a great way to access Vivado enterprise with an arbitrarily large machine.

@dlharmon@chaos.social good thing you have a limit set lol. AWS is so weird in that it’s one of the very few unlimited liabilities in life. You could in fact spend hundreds of millions with a few clicks.

@dlharmon@chaos.social it’s a weird optimization though, the caps cost nothing. I suppose the steps to put them on are not free, but it can’t be much more than $0.25 for a high volume part like that. It doesn’t even save the customer money as they have to put the caps on their board (plus some).

@aleksorsist@mastodon.social buy your parts in Hong Kong and ship them direct to CM. No point in giving your parts a world tour and collecting tariff points.

@oxidecomputer@hachyderm.io what an absolute unit of a switch to need a strongback to hold it for maintenance.

@mattblaze if they are using spicy waveforms they won’t want aircraft doing ELINT.

@mattblaze my bad, my Texas geography knowledge was lacking.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange I think thermals get interesting at 20a with that part.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange you can run Zynq in microcontroller mode without the DDR. Is that still too complicated? iirc you can get it down to a pretty small package.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange it kills me that you have to pay $100 for a $15 part in North America. The one big upside of the classic Zynq is that it is very mature and most of the bugs have been found.

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online magnetic storage sits in the weird space between communications bandwidth (mega is 1000^2) and memory (mega is 1024^2)
