Course Notes

Most of the class material can be found in the text book (Digital Integrated Circuits, 1st edition).
Some of the topics will be taught from a draft of the 2nd edition. The draft chapters used are posted
below.

• Chapter 3: The MOS transistor (pdf)
• Chapter 4: The Wire (pdf)
• Chapter 5: The CMOS inverter (pdf)

Most of the slides used in the class are taken directly from the text book and can be found on
the book's web-page. Given the novel nature of this semester's lectures, most notes will be posted here.
