Remember: There are 3 layers of computer abstraction that we examine in this chapter: Circuits Gates Transistors 41
4.3 Constructing Gates Transistor = device that acts either as a wire that conducts electricity or as a resistor that blocks the flow of electricity, depending on the voltage level of an input signal Made of a semiconductor material Neither good conductor of electricity nor a good insulator but with a little help can be either! Acts like a switch, but w/o moving parts: Switch open Switch closed 42
How transistors operate as switches High voltage, a.k.a. + Base or gate Low voltage, a.k.a. - When 1 is applied on the base/gate, the switch closes When 0 is applied on the base/gate, the switch opens 43
Transistors Figure 4.8 The connections of a transistor A transistor has three terminals: A collector/source, typically connected to the positive terminal of a power source (5 volts, 3.5 volts, etc.) An emitter/drain, typically connected to the ground (0 volts) A base/gate, which controls the flow of current between source and emitter 44
The names of transistor terminals -setting the record straight FYI- Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) Collector, Base, Emmiter Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Drain, Gate, Source Mongrel transistor (our text) 45
The easiest gates to create are the NOT, NAND, and NOR We can explain their operation for any combination of inputs! We do this by replacing the transistors with switches! 46

There are 2 basic types of circuits Combinational circuit The input values explicitly determine the output Sequential circuit The output is a function of the input values and the existing state of the circuit 77
4.5 Circuits as Memory a.k.a. Sequential Circuits A sequential circuit is one whose output depends not only on the current values of its inputs, but also on the past sequence of those inputs (history). It can be used to store information, i.e. as memory. 78
The S R latch There are several ways to build S R latches using various kinds of gates, but there s always feedback. Figure 4.12 An S-R latch How many transistors are here? 79
The S R latch Figure 4.12 An S-R latch 80
S R latch The value of X at any point in time is considered to be the state of the circuit Figure 4.12 An S-R latch If X is 1, we say that the circuit is storing a 1; if X is 0, the circuit is storing a 0 As long as S = R = 1, an S-R latch stores a single binary digit,1 or 0. The design guarantees that the two outputs X and Y are (almost always) complements of each other. 81
Set means make 1, Reset means make 0 To make X = 1, make S = 0 (while keeping R = 1). To make X = 0, make R = 0 (while keeping S = 1). 82
QUIZ: S R latch What happens if both S and R are made 0 at the same time? 83
Integrated Circuit (a.k.a. IC or chip) = A piece of silicon on which multiple gates have been embedded Silicon pieces are mounted on a plastic or ceramic package with pins along the edges that can be soldered onto circuit boards or inserted into appropriate sockets 84

Integrated Circuits Figure 4.13 An SSI chip containing NAND gates How many transistors are here? VLSI chip: AMD Phenom II CPU contains 768 million transistors 86
As of 2014, the highest transistor count in a commercially available CPU is over 4.3 billion transistors, in Intel's 15-core Xeon IvyBridge- EX. On August 7, 2014, IBM announced their second generation SyNAPTIC chip, which contains the most transistors in a Neurosynaptic chip to date: 5.4 billion. Xilinx currently holds the "world-record" for a FPGA containing more than 20 billion transistors. Pricing ranges from $1200 to $6800 per chip and with up to 8 per server, that can get costly but is only part of the puzzle. Each chip can address up to 1.5TB of memory meaning that in an 8 processor configuration one could get up to 12TB of RAM.
