In the first installment of this course, we learned that a digital value is a quantity that varies “in steps” and can take on only a finite number of values. In today’s logic systems, only two ...

Integrated circuits (IC) serve as the backbone of any information system and mobile devices. This course provides an in-depth review of the advanced technology in integrated circuit design targeting ...

Analog circuit design guidelines. Digital circuit design guidelines. Differences in the guidelines between the two. Several products in the electronics industry require both analog and digital printed ...

In modern communication systems, modulation is a key function that embeds the baseband signal (information) into a carrier wave so that it can be successfully broadcasted through a medium such as air ...

Verification had always been an important part of SOC design flow. As SOCs are getting more and more complex, so is their verification. Verification of a design involves simulating the all possible ...

The chip market is growing worldwide; it’s projected to nearly double by 2030 to over one trillion dollars. Most of this market is made up of digital functions in the form of logic, microprocessors, ...
