A collection of transistors and resistors that implement Boolean logic operations in a digital circuit. Logic gates have one or two 0 or 1 inputs but only one 0 or 1 output as in the following ...

The chip industry is progressing rapidly toward 3D-ICs, but a simpler step has been shown to provide gains equivalent to a whole node advancement — extracting distributed memories and placing them on ...

Use of CAD tools for both schematic and layout of complex CMOS circuits; Design of arithmetic logic and memory cells; Large system integration.

Although increasing sub-micron densities now enable the physical manufacture of virtually any circuit, the resulting massive increase in size (gate count ... for SOC logic blocks. As a protocol, OCP ...
