3. Introduction

4. ASIC Vs General Purpose IC

5. What Makes all this happen ?
If { G is on}
{
Current flows through
D & S
}

6. How Do We Build Them?

8. OLD
VERSION

9. BIOS ROM CHIP
• A program burned onto it
• Knows where to look for, and how to access, the different expansion slots,
ports, drives, and the Operating System.

10. Moore’s Law On April 19, 1965 Moore
predicted the most important law ever
proposed in Semiconductors.
”number of transistors in a dense integrated
circuit doubles approximately every two years.”

16. INTEL Processor’s Growth
* All the predictions are based on wiki…could be approximate

26. Human – Computer Analogy
Should We call
It a processor or
System on chip
{SOC}?

27. WHAT LIES AHEAD ????

28. Bio Inspired Computations
Brains demonstrate
– massive parallelism (1011 neurons)
– massive connectivity (1015 synapses)
– excellent power efficiency
• much better than today’s microchips
– low-performance components (~ 100 Hz)
– low-speed communication (~ metres/sec)
– adaptivity
– tolerant of component failure
– autonomous learning

29. Flexible Electronics

30. Artificial Intelligence
CPH4 {code Name}-- a molecule that the pregnant woman is making it
after six weeks of pregnancy in very, very tiny quantities.
