| Dec 14, 2013 at 6:11 | comment | added | Connor Wolf | @IgorSkochinsky - "Low Power" may me running a fancy web-server off 1W of power, rather then using a full-on PC. It doesn't have to mean nanowatts or running off coin-cells... | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 21:55 | comment | added | Igor Skochinsky | Why in the world do you need 512 megs for a "low power application"? | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 21:29 | comment | added | dext0rb | @Dabloons There is no routing for you to do - the chip simply fits over the SOC and is soldered in place. The memory pinout just needs to be compatible. | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 21:28 | comment | added | DoxyLover | Microcontrollers with on-chip RAM top off at 32 KB, as far as I've seen. There may be a few that are larger but I doubt they get above 1MB, let alone 512MB! | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 21:17 | comment | added | Dabloons | Oh... well good lord, I have never even heard of that. How in the hell do I design for that? I can't route traces on chip? Can I? | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 21:14 | comment | added | pjc50 | The RPi chip is by Broadcom (BCM2835) and K4P4G324EB is the RAM part stuck on top. | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 21:09 | comment | added | dext0rb | RPi MCU uses a Package-on-Package(PoP) form factor where the memory is physically placed on top of the MCU package. | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 21:08 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | The Raspberry Pi does not have memory integrated into the MCU. The memory is on a separate chip that attaches to the "back" of the MCU package. | |
