I've done whatever I want

Chapter 235 168 Hour Verification
On Monday morning, the sun was shining brightly. Xin Tong took a newly packaged MCU chip sample and a computer bag, and left the rental house early in the morning. I ordered two old noodle steamed buns and a bottle of mineral water.

Now that there is a car, steamed buns and water don't have to be carried in his hands, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

When he arrived at the downstairs of the company, he came early, and there was no need to fight for the scarce parking space. He easily found a spot and stopped.

It was still early for work, so he gnawed on the steamed buns in the car.

After finishing his breakfast in a hurry, he came to the Office. The office was quiet, and there were not many people in it. This is the case in foreign companies, and everyone basically came to work in the company by stepping on the spot.

Today is the time to hand in the answer sheet. He turned on the computer and checked the list of questions raised by Huizhou Industrial Control one by one again, not daring to be sloppy in the slightest.

"Chipless, come here, the foreigner is here, let me introduce you to AE Bruce!" Just as Xin Tong was about to look up after finishing the last question, Simon walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay!"

In the semiconductor industry, there are AE and FAE for application technology.

AE is the abbreviation of Application Engineer, which means application engineer in Chinese. The main job of AE is chip verification. After IC tape-out, they will build a system platform for functional verification, find problems and give feedback to IC design engineers.

FAE is the abbreviation of Field Application Engineer, which means field application engineer in Chinese. The main job of FAE is to provide technical support to customers. When IC products are sent to the client for samples, technical problems may arise, and FAE will assist the customer's engineering and technical personnel to solve technical problems. It will also assist marketers to promote products from a technical perspective and assist the market in defining various technical indicators of newly developed products.

AE is biased towards IC design, and FAE is more towards the market.

Walking into the FAE office, Xin Tong saw a blond foreigner.

"Hi, Bruce, Let me introduce Chipless to you, he is our MCU line sales manager!" Simon walked to Bruce and introduced with a smile.

"Chipless! Nice to meet you!" The foreigner stood up and nodded.

"Bruce! Nice to meet you too!" Xin Tong also nodded.

"We will travel to Suzhou together this morning?" Bruce asked.

"Let me check, yeah, it is time for departure, are you ok?" Xin Tong took out his phone to check the time, and nodded.

"Xin Tong, you are going to Suzhou today. I will let Rich drive you there in his Daben!" Simon patted Xin Tong on the shoulder.

Driving a luxury car to visit important clients is a sign of respect.

"No need, let's take my car!" Xin Tong felt a headache when he mentioned that Rich dozed off in a meeting. Now that East China belongs to Xin Tong, he would never allow this kind of damage to the company's image. It happened again with an important client.

Thank God I bought my own car!
Otherwise, I really can't live without Rich.

"Your private car? Xin Tong, did you buy a car?" Simon was a little surprised. Xin Tong had been working for a while, and he had never seen this guy drive his own car.

"Simon, yes, take my Mercedes-Benz C200K over there!" Xin Tong said.

"You also bought Daben? You really have it!" Simon patted Xin Tong on the shoulder.

"Yes!"

"Our sales of Kilby Semiconductor are all rich people. Everyone has a car of 60 to [-] yuan under their buttocks. This money can be used as a down payment for a flat in Zhangjiang!" Simon's eyes were shining brightly. people of strength.

As they were talking, the foreigner packed up his things and said softly, "I am ok, Let's go!"

Xin Tong nodded.

Foreigners are like a mobile billboard. They can move the great master Bruce the Ghost to Suzhou, and Huizhou Industrial Control's orders cannot escape.

Xin Tong returned to his seat, took the chip sample, and put on his computer bag: "Let's go!"

That morning, the sun was shining brightly in Shanghai. Driving a powerful Mercedes-Benz, they set off from Zhangjiang, Pudong, crossed the Huangpu River, crossed Puxi, and headed for Suzhou.

I heard that there was a ghost coming to visit. Manager Cui of Huizhou Industrial Control was on the verge of a big enemy. He first went to the Human Resources and Administration Department and arranged for the sweeping lady to clean the meeting room again. Then he took out the English textbook and made up for it for a while English.

He is a typical engineering man. He has no technical problems, but his English is a little weak. In front of foreigners, he can't understand many words, so he can only nod his head and say Yes.

It was past twelve o'clock when Xin Tong arrived in Suzhou: "Time for Lunch!"

"Yeah, could you find McDonalds here?"

"OK!"

They found a McDonald's nearby, ordered breaded chicken wings and Coke, and settled their lunch in a hurry.

The scheduled meeting with Huizhou Gongkong started at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Bruce is worthy of AE background. In the conference room of the R&D center, he talked endlessly. He gave a professional introduction to the functions of the chip. Manager Cui nodded as he listened. He was impressed by the magical functions of the K100 MCU.

The software problems that had troubled Huizhou Industrial Control for a long time were just simple elementary school calculation problems in Bruce's eyes. Xin Tong explained the three hardware-related problems without any flaws.

"I'm very satisfied with your reply. Have you brought any new samples?" Manager Cui asked after listening to the explanation.

"Manager Cui, this is the BGA144 chip sample you want!" After Xin Tong finished speaking, he handed over a black anti-static chessboard.

"You guys wait in the conference room, I'll arrange for an engineer to solder a chip by hand!" Manager Cui finished speaking, and walked out of the conference room with the chessboard in his hand.

BGA144 has met the requirements of Pin to Pin. Xin Tong is not worried about the performance of the chip at all. In the past few days, he has seen the schematic diagram of Huizhou Industrial Control's single-axis servo motor. The K100 MCU is used in Huizhou Industrial Control's There is nothing wrong with the motor.

If there is a problem, it must be a problem with the circuit board of Huizhou Industrial Control!
About an hour later, a R&D engineer brought the Demo prototype, which had the K100 MCU welded on it.

Power On, everything works fine!
"Manager Xin, is your packaging format brand new?" Manager Cui finally got the sample he had been asking for for a long time, but he had new worries in his heart.

"For K100 MCU, this kind of packaging is completely new!" Xin Tong nodded.

"It seems that the performance is pretty good at the moment. If your packaging form is brand new, it still needs to be tested for reliability!" Manager Cui said.

"Our normal chip packaging form is BGA277. This one is BGA144. We have lost 133 wires. The modules corresponding to the 144 I/O pads used by your company have been covered during the verification of BGA277. If the chip If the performance can meet your company's application, I will provide the reliability test report of BGA277 for your reference!" Xin Tong is full of confidence.

If the reliability verification is rescheduled, Xin Tong knows that it will take at least two months to provide samples.

At critical moments, only those with high skills can be bold.

"Okay, let's test the performance first. If it is OK, we will arrange 5 prototypes to do a 168-hour high-temperature working life test." Manager Cui said.

168 hours verification?Xin Tong suddenly thought of Yuan Chengxu and the bathtub curve of reliability. He nodded. From a rigorous point of view, the 168-hour reliability verification cannot be omitted.

"Okay, we'll wait for your verification result!" Xin Tong said.
