Software and Hardware vs Time by Grok

  ========1======================== Sure! Your request is to analyze the comprehensive performance of Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear series on PlayStation platforms over time, calculate a weighted performance index (emphasizing fluidity, with stability, SF precision, and dynamic SF included), and plot it using MATLAB with the Y-axis as the index and the X-axis as time. Below, I’ll… read more »

Technology Node vs Year

As semiconductor technology advances, gaming platform hardware accelerates to meet the increasing demands of software, enhancing user interaction and enriching entertainment experiences for the general public. For example, popular video games like “Metal Gear” showcase the improvements in graphics and gameplay made possible by these advancements, allowing players to immerse themselves in more dynamic and… read more »

Cadence Virtuoso

I utilized Cadence® Virtuoso® to design layout for Electromigration (EM) Test Pad for tape-out with Harris Corporation and ICAMR in Fall 2016, partner was Novati Technologies, Inc. who I submitted GDSII to. Map file was from MOSIS: https://www.eda.ncsu.edu/wiki/MOSIS_Layers. The test pad size: 120um x 120 um. Pitch: 250um, which means 130um spacing between 2 test… read more »

Modeling Power Terminology

The power a circuit dissipates falls into two broad categories: Static power Dynamic power Static Power Static power is the power dissipated by a gate when it is not switching – that is, when it is inactive or static. Static power is dissipated in several ways. The largest percentage of static power results from source-to-drain… read more »

Path delay in cross clock domain

Sometimes, for cross clock domain timing analysis, incorrect timing report from mistake Path Delay due to big source clock paths latency/skew or target paths latency/skew would lead tool report and fix timing violation wrongly. Designer analysis launch clock paths latency/skew and capture clock paths latency/skew, find out which path(s) is/are too long, for example, it… read more »

Band Theory

Problems 1. How does the band gap indicate whether or not your substance is an insulator, semiconductor or conductor? 2. What is the purpose of a p-type semiconductor? An n-type? 3. What is the purpose of understanding band theory? Answers 1. A very large band gap is indicative of an insulator–since it takes a great… read more »

PN junction

Figure A. A p–n junction in thermal equilibrium with zero-bias voltage applied. Electron and hole concentration are reported with blue and red lines, respectively. Gray regions are charge-neutral. Light-red zone is positively charged. Light-blue zone is negatively charged. The electric field is shown on the bottom, the electrostatic force on electrons and holes and the… read more »
