by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh Microprocessor Scaling Because of the importance of process scaling to processor design, all microprocessor designs can be broken down into two basic categories: lead designs and compactions. Lead designs are fundamentally new designs. They typically add new features that require more transistors and therefore a larger die size. Compactions change …

by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh The Microprocessor The integrated circuit was not an immediate commercial success. By 1960 the computer had gone from a laboratory device to big business with thousands in operation worldwide and more than half a billion dollars in sales in 1960 alone. 2 International Business Machines (IBM ® ) had become …

by Dr. Jaydeep T. Vagh 😇 INTRO. he world of electrical and electronics is quite closely related, yet sometimes far apart in terms of size and magnitude. Whereas electrical equipment could be mostly bulky electrical motors of various types, the electronic items are normally in the shorter version. In this article we will study one …
