Topic: ASIC Certification Requirements? - page 4. (Read 6908 times)
I actually remember the statement about the FCC currently having BFLs gear about a month ago. Good luck finding it though :/
All vendors must/should pass this certification requirement. Please feel free to use this thread for any Vendors which are bringing their products out to market.

@ Eldentyrell
I would like you to elucidate on a point related to clock buffer and electromagnetic noise.
Question: Do you remember when one BFL representative started to mention FCC requirement for certifying a device and various other certification required for producing a device that complies with various international regulations?
Background 0: A BFL representative when asked about their own compliance with such regulations went on record to state that their device was currently in testing. (presumably at a lab)
Background 1: Later, after that debacle, when asked if there were any functional prototype devices, the BFL representative stated there were none at that time. (November)
Question: How can a device be sent to the FCC labs for testing and certification if there is no working and functional prototype?
Is that the reason why additional clock buffers were added? To reduce noise?
(Admittedly, this is unlikely, but possible)
Note: I presume that the clock buffer are/were to reduce noise localized to the chip. But I have to ask, was the noise leaking further than the immediate area of the chip? Did it fail FCC certification or inspection? Further, if there are no prototypes, then what was sent in late October for evaluation? [Speculation]
