  • Popping the hood on this MacBook gives us an indication that the rose gold beauty is much more than skin deep.

  • Before delving any deeper into this beauty, we take a quick look at the chips powering the trackpad:

  • Broadcom BCM5976 touchscreen controller

  • STMicroelectronics STM32F103 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller

  • Monolithic Power Systems MP24830HL White LED driver and International Rectifier IRFH3702 power MOSFET

  • Maxim Integrated MAX11290 analog-to-digital converter (likely)

  • Macronix MX25L2006EZUI-12G 2 Mb Serial NOR flash memory

  • Maxim Integrated MAX9028 comparator

Ein Blick unter die Haube dieses MacBooks zeigt uns, dass diese rosegoldene Schönheit keinesfalls nur oberflächlich ist.

Bevor wir uns noch tiefer hineinwühlen, schauen wir kurz auf die Chips, die das Trackpad antreiben:

Broadcom BCM5976 Touchscreen Kontroller

STMicroelectronics 32F103 ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontroller

International Rectifier IRFH3702 Single N-Channel HEXFET Power MOSFET
