  1. Greetings! How are you all doing? It's been raining here on and off for a couple days now. But that's not going to stop #NakedDieFriday is it.

    Today's exhibit is a sibling of the venerable 6502. This is almost the same, but made in CMOS: R65C02 by Rockwell. The design has been enhanced in several aspects over the NMOS one.

    Full-res map: infosecdj.net/map/rockwell/r65

    NOTE: The map is layered, you can see the metal layer and the poly layer.

  6. Good evening! Well, it is evening here anyways, and I am still on time to do this week's #NakedDieFriday installment.

    This here is a TDA8708T, made by Philips. It is a "video analog input interface", basically a 8-bit ADC with an analog front-end to capture video data. The die sports 3 metal layers but seems to be still designed with bipolar tech. Metal 1 was done with a different process, as it looks to be much smoother.

    Unfortunately, I do not know enough on bipolar tech to provide any meaningful commentary here, so I hope you at least enjoy the image. 🙏

  11. Greetings. This is #nakeddiefriday and today I got one on a reader's request.

    I was kindly provided with the ASIC chip from the new #Lego Smart Brick. It is the one marked DA000001-04, which nobody really knows what it is and who made it. There were suggestions it was made by Dialog but no solid evidence AFAIK.

    The first image is with the die intact. You can see a ball pad array on the redistribution layer. RDL is made from polyimide with copper traces, not unlike flex PCBs. It is bonded to the silicon die pads on the perimeter. Unfortunately, RDL considerably obscures the die.

  16. I don't think I'll tell Travis Goodspeed what I'm doing to his wonderful tool...

    (I'm adding template matching to MaskRomTool and it's doing a *spectacular* job at detecting flipped bits based on their diffusion shape)

  21. Well hello and welcome to #nakeddiefriday -- the second one in April.

    My pleasure to introduce you the guest of today: ATSAMA5D26C by Atmel. This is a SoC with one Cortex-A5 core and a boatload of peripherals.

  31. Greetings and welcome to today's #nakeddiefriday installment.

    Today's guest is a smartcard chip, for which I do not know the actual p/n -- only it's die marking: M7690-G1, by Infineon. This came from a SIM card. The chip had polyimide on top which had to be stripped off, hence the damage on some top metal.

    Unfortunately, power distribution routing and CMP dummy fill obstructs the majority of the detail. 🧵

  36. Hello! It has been a little while, but #nakeddiefriday is back in town.

    Today's exhibit is an old PIC1650A. Yes, one of *the* PIC series of microcontrollers. Note it was designed by General Instrument in 1980. It was fabbed in a single metal layer, metal-gate NMOS process. The image is about 4.3x3.8 mm.

    No full-res link as SP is still borked.

  41. As I will be travelling starting tomorrow, I declare the #nakeddiefriday today.

    Instead of going deeper into one particular die, this will be several of them but one-pagers.

    This one is HV9911 by Supertex (now owned by Microchip). Those following me have probably seen the epic struggle with restoring a diving light; this one came from the LED driver chip in the light. Entirely undamaged, as far as I can tell. Of particular interest is an array of fuses in the top right corner.

  46. Hello and welcome to the second installment of #nakeddiefriday in this new year!

    Today's image is of a M37620E8FP, a Mitsubishi microcontroller. This should be one from "group 7620" but I did not find a datasheet for this one. Custom markings on the package likely identify the ROM and its version.

    Many thanks to @RueNahcMohr for supplying this sample!
