“From just a few logic gates, we have created a 4-stage binary counter and compiled it into layout. It also gave us the basic concepts to understand the operation of the transistors in order to extract their models.”
“The 24-hours clock project was a good exercise which permitted us to see how it is inside a semiconductor and how it works.”
“We learned a lot about designing integrated circuit. We faced some practical problems, and tried to solve them or to understand them.”
“This study allows us to understand the DAC running. In spite of some design problems, we managed to make the DAC work well.”
“Before doing this project, we hadn’t thought that there are as many ways to realize an amplifier. It’s an area not easy to understand. Each technique has its limit. We tried to optimize our operational amplifier design to maximize the gain.”
