It's commonly used for processor chips on a motherboard, allowing a choice of processor to be fitted according to customer requirements.") | ||||
| N 14:27 | Glossary:BGA diffhist +426 Philip talk contribs (Created page with "BGA or Ball Grid Array is a type of surface mount integrated circuit package having connections in an array on the entire underside. Tiny balls of solder attach it to an identcal pattern of connections on the circuit board. This allows for a very large number of connections, not limited to the edges of the package. It's commonly used for processor and memory chips.") | ||||

| N 20:22 | Glossary:SPI diffhist +466 Philip talk contribs (Created page with "SPI is a method of relatively high speed serial communication between ICs or subsystems in a device. It is used by SDCards and memory ICs more generally, as well as by displays and numerous other devices. It uses a clock line (SCLK) which simultaneously marches data in both directions using the two data lines MOSI (Master Out Slave In) and MISO (Master In Slave Out), making a minimum of 3 connections.") | ||||
| N 17:06 | Glossary:Peripheral diffhist +377 Philip talk contribs (Created page with "In computing terms, a "peripheral" is any device which allows applications running on the central processor to interact with the real world. This can include monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers, printers, scanners, cameras and network interfaces, but equally in an industrial setting, might include all manner of sensors, actuators and motors.") | ||||

Requiring just two wires for a serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) it's simple and cheap to implement. Although rarely seen, it is ubiquitous, being used in a computer to communicate presence, typ...") | |||

It is intended for communication between modules within a single device, and hence no inter-device connecting cables are defined.") | ||||

The core systems are GPS (United States), GLONASS (Russian Federation), Galileo (EU) and BeiDou (China). They all rely on the fact that you can determine your latitude, longitude, altitude and the time by comparing the relative delays of highly accurate timing signals from at least 4 satellites within direct line of sight.") | ||||

10:51 (cur | prev) +477 Philip talk contribs (Created page with "A "pig butchering" scam is a type of fraud in which a fraudster builds trust with the victim over a period of time, then persuades them to contribute increasing sums, typically to a fake cryptocurrency investment. Once a substantial sum has been collected or when the victim tries to withdraw their "investment", the fraudster becomes uncontactable. South-east Asian "fraud factories" have become a prolific source of such scams, manned by forced labour from human trafficking.") | |||
