Hi All, I must once again show my ignorance and ask a question: In the recent message from Tech Tools and in many emulator ads, I have often seen the term "bondout". What does this mean? Just going from what it sounds like, I would think it means access to the die of an IC (you BOND the pin wires to the die), but this doesn't seem to make sense to me in an emulator.
