Once formed, a lower priced class may evolve in performance and this may take over, thereby allowing the disruption of the existing class. ▪ Roughly every decade a new, lower priced computer class forms based on a new programming platform, network, and interface resulting in new usage and the establishment of a new industry. EE321MICRO - Lec01 34 Moore’s Law EE321MICRO - Lec01 35 Moore’s Law ▪ Moore’s Law is the observation that the number of transistors in an IC doubles every two years; this is both an observation and a projection of a historical trend seen in production and manufacturing of ICs. ▪ The law is named after Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel. In 1965, he posited that the number of components in an integrated circuit will double every year. This projected growth will continue for another decade; but in in 1975, he revised the forecast to doubling every two years. EE321MICRO - Lec01 36 Dennard Scaling ▪ Also known as MOSFET scaling, it states that as transistors get smaller, their power density stays constant, so power use stays in proportion with area. ▪ Increased device density means there is lower cost per function. Smaller interconnects and areas also mean there is improved circuit operating speed. EE321MICRO - Lec01 37 Binary Logic ▪ Binary logic uses only two states, 0 (off) and 1 (on), which align with the physical nature of electronic components like transistors. ▪ Binary signals are less susceptible to noise and signal degradation. Even if there is some interference, the system can still accurately interpret the signal as either high (1) or low (0), ensuring consistent performance. ▪ Binary logic scales efficiently as circuits become more complex. It allows for easy replication and extension of circuits without significantly increasing design complexity, supporting the exponential growth of computing power as described by Moore's Law.

It provides a formal way to describe logical operations and relationships. ▪ The fundamental operations in Boolean algebra are AND (conjunction), OR (disjunction), and NOT (negation). ▪ Boolean algebra follows specific laws and properties, such as the Commutative, Associative, Distributive, Identity, and De Morgan's laws. ▪ Boolean algebra directly corresponds to binary logic, which is the basis of all digital computing.
