Both consumer and industrial electronics have become increasingly complex and advanced in recent years. High performance semiconductor devices are essential to the function of these electronics, which is why rapid growth of the microelectronics industry and major technological advancements in this field …

Many ARM Cortex-M-based microcontrollers include tracing features which allow monitoring hardware events (e.g. exceptions occurring, a specific instruction being executed or a specific address range being accessed by the CPU). Tracing enables non-intrusive insight into software execution (i.e. software …

Materials with semiconducting properties are present in every microelectronic device and form the backbone of our information society. Commonly used inorganic semiconductors are poorly modular and their production is expensive and energetically demanding. Moreover, the use of metals and critical raw …

The Main question of the Thesis is: Which hardware and software is needed to test the ADC module of the EVA setup without the help of the EVA setup? Before answering the main question some background information is needed. At NXP there is a bench test setup called the EVA. The EVA consist of several …

Documentation is the bed rock of any organization. The strength of any organization depends on the quality of its pepople and its current business environment. Peple depend on each other to archieve the team's goals and subsequently the organizations. This project was done at the NXP semiconductors; …

De huidige oplossing voor de CMDB van de interfaces in het NXP intergratie landschap is gemaakt in Excel. Een CMDB in een Excel sheet is niet makkelijk te gebruiken en ook moeilijk te onderhouden. Om deze redenen is de huidige CMDB ook niet betrouwbaar. In de toekomst moet de CMDB ook te gebruiken zijn …

Abstract: Unlike manufacturing technology for semiconductors and printed circuit boards, the market for traditional micro assembly lacks a clear public roadmap. More agile manufacturing strategies are needed in an environment in which dealing with change becomes a rule instead of an exception. In this …
