Digital design techniques for integrated circuits. The emphasis will be
on the design of logic gates at the transistor level. A number of
different logic families will be described but CMOS will be emphasized.
Review of: device modelling, IC processing, and SPICE simulation,
simplified layout rules, inverter noise margins, transient response,
and power dissipation, traditional CMOS logic design, transmission
gates, RC timing approximations, input-output circuits,
latches and flipflops, counters and adders, decoders and
muxes, dynamic gates, SRAMs, DRAMs, and EEPROMs.
