Guess they must have moved back to valves.... It gets rid of the squashiness of low voltage data systems. :) Look how much simpler the power supply is though!

> > Speaking of fun with data sheets, can you spot the two > order-of-magnitude blooper here? > > http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/details.aspx?opn=ADA4800DAA6CD I don't see any... Clearly this is the first processor you can directly plug into mains voltage. Christian

Yes the last page is really unusual! Also the introduction. -And interestig designs too. (Mysteriousy though the server seemed not deliver the page correclty, so i had to direct it to my pdf reader manually) /Morgan Vasile Surducan 12:25 2005-07-22: >http://www.linear.com/pc/downloadDocument.do?navId=H0,C1,C1003,C1042,C1034,P1645,D4164 -- Morgan Olsson, Kivik, Sweden

Guess they must have moved back to valves.... I'm impressed that they are able to generate an accurate 2.4 GHz clock from a 60 Hz input. Do they have an alternate chip for 50 Hz nations, or do they just run slower? Mike H.

Do they have an >alternate chip for 50 Hz nations, or do they just run slower? PLL I guess, the mains frequency is pretty accurate long term. Must be more of a disciplined oscillator, rather than directly controlled. Some sort of S+M feedback process I gather.

While trying to reach http://www.linear.com/pc/downloadDocument.do?navId=H0,C1,C1003,C1042,C1034,P1645,D4164 I reached http://www.linear.com/pc/downloadDocument.do?navId=H0,C1,C1003,C1042,C1034,P1645,D416 instead, due to cut & paste fun (linear have a strange way to look for lost pages). Peter

Heh. A CPU that runs directly off the mains - cute :) Obviously that should be "1.35 to 1.4V". Unless AMD are making CPUs out of vacuum tubes and individual HV transistors now... No wonder the new chips are so expensive :) Later. -- Phil. | Acorn Risc PC600 Mk3, SA202, 64MB, 6GB, .....philpemKILLspam.....philpem.me.uk | ViewFinder, 10BaseT Ethernet, 2-slice, http://www.philpem.me.uk/ | 48xCD, ARCINv6c IDE, SCSI ...
