Cool list(s), but I think the title is misleading. It should be something like "200-word chip design glossary", or "Chip design terminology: list of 200 definitions".
Now it sounds as if there are 200 actual chip definitions, whatever that would mean, since it doesn't say its (just) about words and jargon used in the field of chip design.
I confuse easily.
- ducttapecrown 10y agoI believe it's a joke about programming language names/framework names/etc.
- Chris2048 10y agoYou're right - I though there where going to be circuit diagrams, or possibly pin-outs...
- ricksplat 10y agoCommon chip-design paradigms? Architecture patterns? I was expecting things like "TTL", "Discrete Logic", "Von Neumann", "Microcontroller" etc. etc. Interesting nonetheless.
- logicallee 10y agoI believe you're meant to click on the links to learn more. The links are more than just a definition - they're the Wikipedia article. Going through this list will end up amazingly useful for anyone who requires this level of glossary.
- robert_tweed 10y agoI assumed it was going to be snippets of VHDL, which is on my to-learn list.
- choosername 10y agolooking at parts and datasheets to build a smps (switch mode power supply) and trying to figure out the networks that are rather complex from my point of view, I was expecting a list of 200 famous ICs like the lm317 or ne555 and when that seemed implausible, becuase there aren't that many iconic ones, I thought of insights into cmos design, which this hardly adresses and where 200 items would be a short list.
