Students are introduced to the concepts of digital circuit hierarchical design, primary design building blocks, the different abstraction layers and MOS circuit design methods and manufacturing process. Students learn design of simple and complex digital CMOS gates, such as NOR and NAND structures, and properties of a number of contemporary gate-logic families, memory and arithmetic blocks and critical path analysis. Students explore impact of interconnect wiring on the functionality and performance of a digital gate, different approaches to digital circuit timing and clocking. Prerequisite: A minimum of grade "C" or better EENG 3100
