Building a circuit Manhattan style with small bits of copper and solder is a skill all its own, and building a prototype dead bug style is close to a black art. [Anderson] is taking it to the next ...

An Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is a digital circuit that performs arithmetic and logic operations. In this work, the demand is to design an 8-bit ALU and perform analysis at gate and layout levels ...

An elementary electronic circuit in the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) of the CPU that adds one bit to another. The output of the half-adder is a result of 0 or 1 and a carry of 0 or 1. Additional ...

The chipmaker will give a glimpse of what the insides of computers might look like in a few years when it presents research results at the International Solid State Circuits Conference. Michael ...

Arithmetic Logic Units are combinations of digital logic gates that performs arithmetic and logical operations on binary numbers. For this project, an 8-bit ALU was made entirely of NAND gates only. A ...

Increment and decrement. They sound like simple functions. But even the simplest functions can get quite complex in a microprocessor design. Ken Shirriff has written up a great blog post about his ...
