Lab 1: FET Transistors and CMOS Logic
Introduction
The goal of this lab is to understand the basics of CMOS logic and digital design. You may already have experience with these topics, however, some of the CESE CS students will have had less interaction with actual computer hardware at this very low level. To better understand why computer hardware is designed the way it is, it is essential to understand what it looks like at all levels of the technology. We will not cover the device physics, but we will go into the limitations of CMOS transistors and what this means for design choices at the lowest level of circuit design.
