What will you learn?
Understanding, designing, and optimizing digital circuits in the deep-submicron politics with respect to different quality metrics: cost, speed, power dissipation, and reliability
cosmos and MOSFET Transistor
The First Computer
The Babbage Difference Engine (1832) 25,000 parts cost: £17,470
ENIAC - The first-year electronic computer (1946)
The Transistor Revolution
First transistor bell Labs, 1948
The First Integrated Circuits
Bipolar logic 1960s
ECL 3-input Gate Motorola 1966
Intel 4004 Micro-Processor (1971)
1971 universal gravitational constant transistors 1 MHz operation NMOS only replacing PMOS found compound circuits (higher speed)
Intel Pentium (IV) microprocessor (2000)
In the early 1970s, CMOS technology replaced NMOS-only logic which started scurvy from high power consumption.
Ever since, CMOS has been the dominant allele digital technology. interestingly enough, power consumption concerns are rapidly becoming dominant in CMOS designs as well, and this time there does not attend to be a new technology around the street corner to alleviate this problem.
Issues in Digital IC Design - Moores Law
In 1965, Gordon Moore noted that the number of transistors on a flake prongyd every 18 to 24 months. He do a prediction that semiconductor technology will double its effectiveness every 18 months (# of transistors that can be integrated on a single die would grow exponentially with time).
