October 23, 2022 Hosted by Parker Dillmann, Stephen Kraig

This is the last installment of Stephen's 'Adventures in Injection Molding'. We are going to recap the entire two year sage and close the book on it.

November 5, 2022 – Extra Life

  • Haven’t had a chance to work on this yet
  • Going to stream working on it?

Adventures in injection molding

  • PINNACLE 5112C3
  • 8% haze – this is pretty low. Any lower and it would be considered “clear”
  • Low melt flow, excellent processability – Voids
  • Two ways to create diffusion
    • Haze
    • Surface Texture

Jeep Prop Fan 

  • Half bridges for each output
  • Current sensing
    • INA219
  • Inputs
    • Found a product that will do the thermocouples on canbus
    • Instead of that crazy LTC2986 chip
      • Just expose an ADC 0-5V 
  • Connectors are the hardest part of this project so far
    • Dictate the entire specifications

RFAB2 Lab – an expansion of the RFAB1 Lab

  • Sept. 29, TI announcedt began initial chip production at RFAB2, a new 300-mm analog wafer lab in Richardson, TX
  • 300 analog fab
    • digital isolator
    • Ethernet transceiver
    • brushless DC motor driver
    • digital-to-analog converter
  • 100M units/day within a few years
