What is IDE ribbon cable?

What is IDE ribbon cable?

IDE Cables connect from the motherboard of a computer to the hard drive, cd drive and/or floppy drive. IDE stands for Integrated Drive Electronics. One IDE ribbon cable can connect a hard drive and a cd drive to the motherboard, it can also connect two hard drives to the motherboard.

How can you tell which side of a hard drive data cable connects to pin 1 on the drive?

Look for a label on the board around the connector. It may be called Pin 1, or it may simply show a 1 and 2. Other possibilities include 39 and 40, or 33 and 34, which would mean you would find Pin 1 at the other end.

What mark indicates pin 1 on the processor?

Pin 1 is clearly marked with an arrow on the circuit board. If the chip were loose it would be a little less clear because not only is there a dot by pin 1, but there is also apparently a dot by the opposite corner.

How do I find my IC pin?

The pins are numbered anti-clockwise around the IC (chip) starting near the notch or dot. The diagrams show the numbering for 8-pin and 14-pin ICs, but the principle is the same for all sizes.

How do I know my IC?

How to Identify Integrated Circuit Chips

1. Identify the manufacturer first.
2. Look up data sheets in the manufacturer’s printed catalog.
3. Look up a part number in an electronic retailer’s catalog.
4. Use the technical specifications for a piece of equipment to find part numbers and alternates.

What are the different types of IC packages?

The Common IC Packaging Types

• DIP (Double In-line Package)
• SOP/SOIC/SO (Small Outline Package)
• QFP (Quad Flat Package)
• QFN/LCC (Quad Flat Non-leaded Package)
• BGA (Ball Grid Array Package)
• CSP (Chip Scale Package)

How do you tell if an IC is fried?

The only way to test an IC is to try it, and if it behaves within the manufacturers specifications, then it is most likely functional – though it is not guaranteed to be. The only way to be more sure (still not certain though) that you have a functional IC is to buy a new one.

How do you know if your IC is burned?

By taking out dies at the failure position detected by SAT and the thermal EMMI and visually checking these dies with an OM digital microscope, it’s easy to identify EOS burnt areas that fall in between the die surface and black compound.

What is the use of regulator IC in power supply?

The chief purpose of most power-supply ICs is to regulate. These devices take an unregulated input voltage and provide a regulated output voltage. Restated most simply, these ICs provide an output voltage that remains steady despite varying input voltage or output current.

What are the 3 major roles of a regulator in a power supply?

What Is the Function of a Voltage Regulator?

• Passive Voltage Regulation. A passive voltage regulator may be used if the power supply consistently produces a voltage greater than what the components on the circuit require.
• Active Voltage Regulation.
• Mains Regulation.
• AC Voltage Stabilization.
• DC Voltage Stabilization.
