Scope and Objective of the Course

The objective of this course is to develop an
ability to analyze and design integrated
electronic circuits. The course aims at
thorough understanding of electronic circuits
& building blocks necessary for effective
realizations of integrated circuits.

Todays Chips: Moores Law

Gordon Moore, 1965

Number of transistor
per square inch doubles
approximately every18 months

Implications
Cost per device halves every 18 months
More transistors on the same area, more complex
and powerful chips
Future chips are very hard to design!!!
Fabrication cost is becoming prohibitive

Why Digital?
Digital signals are easy and cheap to store
Digital signals are insensible to noise
Boolean algebra can be used to represent,
manipulate, minimize logic functions
Digital signal processing is easier and relatively
less expensive than analog signal processing

Summary
Analog signals are representation of physical
quantities
Digital signals are less sensible to noise than
analog signals
Digital signals can represent analog signals
with arbitrary precision (at the expense of
digital circuit cost)
Boolean algebra is a powerful mathematical
tool for manipulating digital circuits
