    Beautiful! This is how educational content should be made. I strongly believe that intuitive understanding is extremely important if you wish to explore a domain deeply, and you guys are pretty good at making content that provides that understanding.

    If understanding something that complex was that easy , I could be a good student. 😂
    But seriously this video is fun to watch easy to understand , the animated explanations always help. I am watching videos from this channel for a week and I love all of them , it is really helping me understand my EEE engineering courses . Thank you so much . I hope this channel gets the support it deserves .

    Amazing video. I'm studying a Masters in Digital Systems Engineering and this is the basics of what I studied in the first term. Would be really interested to see you talk through a CMOS DFF (made from latches) with latched WEN at the CMOS gate level. I had to work through just a DFF made from latches in my last piece of coursework by building it in Cadence, then doing layout at 290nm/220nm followed by a pre-vs-post layout simulation comparison. It was such an amazing challenge, then I decided to try to latch the clock with a write enable to ensure it behaved correctly. I'd like to add a reset low to latch the clock as well, but I can't work out how to latch the clock to two other inputs. I tried all the obvious CMOS logic combinations and some that were a little more... Jazzy? So perhaps you have some insight(s) that may jog my imagination :D
    Thanks
    Edit: That quote at the end hits a lot of things on the head for me! I've long thought differing levels of consciousness are brought about through any current flow, I apply that to rivers, the wind, super bands of radiation throughout the universe, etc. It came from a project I did on an FPGA, differential drive, VGA camera robot for my Bachelors. Anyway, the idea of a reconstituted rock of Silicon-dioxide that we've configured to think it's absolutely fantastic.

      @CircuitBread  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the comment! I only did one semester of CMOS design (digital circuits) and it was really interesting. My hope is to finish off the circuits course I'm currently working on and then jump into digital logic. I'm not sure when we'll get to CMOS design, though, and I'd have to bring in somebody else as none of us here at CircuitBread are CMOS design experts. I don't know if it will help at all, but my professor in this was Dr. Baker who runs cmosedu.com/ - he's an absolutely amazing (and slightly scary) professor that provides a lot of his knowledge free on that website.

      Indeed! I lived in southern Idaho growing up but I don't remember going to the sand dunes with scouts. However, I went to BSU and when I got out of the Navy, went back to live in Boise and we visited them a few times as a family. We were actually at the dunes when they announced school was canceled indefinitely due to COVID. Weird times....

    I like how it starts with "from sand to gaming", but a minute after we find out sand isn't pure enough to be used to create silicon. So it never really was sand, but crystals found elsewhere?

    • @CircuitBread
      @CircuitBread  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope, it is sand, just not the sand that Josh is standing on in that video. That particular sand isn't pure enough, it has to be sourced from somewhere else.

    • @CircuitBread
      @CircuitBread  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's an interesting question, we didn't research that. But my understanding is that we're not looking at a shortage or anything, I think there's plenty of sand at other places though I wonder, if we somehow did run out of the more pure sand, we'd just have to more aggressively purify the less pure sand that's out there.

    • @CircuitBread
      @CircuitBread  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah, dang it. Yes, silicon wafers are made from the purified silicon extracted from silicon dioxide. And while silicon dioxide is present in semiconductors as an insulator, if I'm not mistaken, the pure silicon is oxidized to create insulative layers.
