Digital Electronics

Electronics refers to the flow of charge (moving electrons) through semiconductors (Si, GaAs, …).

Electrical refers to the flow of charge through metal conductors.

Digital Electronics are Electronic System that uses digital signals

Digital electronics are representations of Boolean algebra and are used in computers, digital communication systems, and other consumer products.

Embedded Systems An embedded system is a special-purpose

computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, often with real-time computing constraints.

Electronics Circuit

An electronic circuit is a closed path formed by the interconnection of electronic components through which an electric current can flow.

Integrated Circuit

integrated circuit (IC) is a miniaturized electronic circuit that has been manufactured in the surface of a thin substrate of semiconductor material.

Intel 80386DX

Goals

Provide an overview of electronics Organization of the field Terminology

Provide career foundation cornerstones Skills – circuit analysis Performance estimates – what sets fundamental limits Examples of modern and changing technology

SW/HW Boundary is Blurring Processor takes over tasks

performed by software IBM Power 5 Processor –

networking, virtual memory and message passing

IBM Power 6 Processor – database, and web sphere e-commerce

Embedded Software required tight integration between SW and HW

What should a computer scientist know about electronics? Knowing something about physical nature of information

(voltages and currents) can be useful in understanding what goes in and out of a computer, memory, etc.

Knowing something about the electronic devices (e. g. CMOS) can be useful in understanding the restrictions on size, weight and performance of working systems

Learning enough electronics to be able to carry out simple performance and power calculations can be useful in understanding the limits of actual physical hardware
