Analog Devices AD14160 - The Quad SHARC

This interesting part caught my eye when I came across it in a scrap circuit board listing on Ebay. These parts turned out to be the AD14160, also referred to as the Quad SHARC. This is because it actually contains four ADSP-21060 SHARC cores inside of it. These SHARC chips have a hidden silicon doodle of a shark on them. In this video, I open up one of these AD14160 parts for viewing under the microscope. I also did a bit of digging and learned about the circuit board that it was soldered to.
