  8. History of EE: Electricity Hans Christian Oersted’s Experiment (1820) Michael Faraday’s Experiment (1831) (Source: Molecular Expression) Maxwell’s Equations (1831) Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  9. History of EE: Transistor Collector J. Bardeen,W. Brattain and W. Shockley, 1939-1947 Base Emitter BJT C MOSFET D B G E S Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  10. History of EE: Integration Resistor Capacitor Inductor Diode Transistor Jack S. Kilby (1958) Monolithic (one piece) circuits: built form a silicon substrate Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  11. Today’s Chips: Moore’s Law Gordon Moore, 1965 • 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 Number of transistor per square inch doubles approximately every18 months Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  12. Today’s Chips: An Example P4 2.4 Ghz, 1.5V, 131mm2 300mm wafer, 90nm 90nm transistor (Intel) Hair size (1024px) Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  13. Signals: Analog vs. Digital g(t) f(t) t t Analog: Analogous to some physical quantity Digital: can be represented using a finite number of digits Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  14. Example of Analog Signal • Properties: • Dynamic range: maxV – minV • Frequency: number of cycles in one second A (440Hz) piano key stroke Voltage (V) Time (s) Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  15. Analog Circuits • It is an electronic subsystem which operates entirely on analog signals i(t) o(t) Amplifier o(t) = Ki(t) Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  16. Digital Circuits • It is an electronic subsystem which operates entirely on numbers (using, for instance, binary representation) a sum 1-bit Adder b carry Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  17. Encoding of Digital Signals +1.5 V 5 → 101 1 threshold +1.5 V noise margin 0 0 V 0 V +1.5 V • We use binary digits • Two values: {0 , 1} • Positional system • Encoded by two voltage levels • +1.5 V → 1 , 0 V → 0 Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  18. 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 Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  19. Digital Representation of Analog Signals • Problem: represent f(t) using a finite number of binary digits • Example: A key stroke using 6 bits • Only 64 possible values, hence not all values can be represented • Quantization error: due to finite number of digits • Time sampling: time is continuous but we want a finite sequence of numbers Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  21. Digital Representation of Logic Functions • Boolean Algebra: • Variables can take values 0 or 1 (true or false) • Operators on variables: • a AND b a·b • a OR b a+b • NOT b b • Any logic expression can be built using these basic logic functions • Example: exclusive OR Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  22. Full Adder Example a sum 1-bit Adder b carry Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004

  23. 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 Alessandro Pinto, EE40 Summer 2004
