![]() In fact, today, you can design integrated circuits at home using free tools. While at the beginning of our digital era the tools were simple (basically, paper and ink), today they are fully computerized. Naturally, being a maker, I end up wondering about the kinds of tools that engineers use to design devices like CPUs, MCUs, memories, logic circuits, or any integrated circuit (IC). ![]() It is a domain where computer engineers, physicists, and chemists work together to try and pack even more computing power in smaller spaces, that consume less power a domain where designers must combine boolean mathematics with our current elementary understanding of quantum mechanics to create something that works. The design of such dense and highly integrated circuits is a marvel of modern engineering. ![]() ![]() Billions of transistors, organized in tidy logic circuits, in functional silos, all interconnected with wires too small to see with the naked eye, and orchestrated by the beat of a central clock. ![]()
