IntroductionAs chip designers pack more functions into ICs,pin counts continue to grow and the space betweenpins keeps shrinking. Pin spacings of 0.5 mm and0.65 mm are not at all uncommon. The power ofthese new ICs is wonderful, to be sure, but trou-bleshooting them can be a chore because connect-ing scopes and logic analyzers has become muchmore difficult and less dependable.
I2C interface, is a very powerful tool for system designers. Theintegrated protocols allow systems to be completely software defined.Software development time of different products can be reduced byassembling a library of reusable software modules. In addition, themultimaster capability allows rapid testing and alignment ofend-products via external connections to an assembly-line computer.The mask programmable 87LPC76X and its EPROM version, the87LPC76X, can operate as a master or a slave device on the I2Csmall area network. In addition to the efficient interface to thededicated function ICs in the I2C family, the on-board interfacefacilities I/O and RAM expansion, access to EEPROM andprocessor-to-processor communications.

Xilinx UltraScale:The Next-Generation Architecture for Your Next-Generation Architecture
The Xilinx® UltraScale™ architecture delivers unprecedented levels of integration and capability with ASIC-class system- level performance for the most demanding applications.
The UltraScale architecture is the industr y's f irst application of leading-edge ASIC architectural enhancements in an All Programmable architecture that scales from 20 nm planar through 16 nm FinFET technologies and beyond, in addition to scaling from monolithic through 3D ICs. Through analytical co-optimization with the X ilinx V ivado® Design Suite, the UltraScale architecture provides massive routing capacity while intelligently resolving typical bottlenecks in ways never before possible. This design synergy achieves greater than 90% utilization with no performance degradation.
Some of the UltraScale architecture breakthroughs include:
• Strategic placement (virtually anywhere on the die) of ASIC-like system clocks, reducing clock skew by up to 50%
• Latency-producing pipelining is virtually unnecessary in systems with massively parallel bus architecture, increasing system speed and capability
• Potential timing-closure problems and interconnect bottlenecks are eliminated, even in systems requiring 90% or more resource utilization
• 3D IC integration makes it possible to build larger devices one process generation ahead of the current industr y standard
• Greatly increased system performance, including multi-gigabit serial transceivers, I/O, and memor y bandwidth is available within even smaller system power budgets
• Greatly enhanced DSP and packet handling
The Xilinx UltraScale architecture opens up whole new dimensions for designers of ultra-high-capacity solutions.
This is the second half of our Transistor Circuits e-book. It contains a further 100 circuits, with many of them containing one or more Integrated Circuits (ICs).It's amazing what you can do with transistors but when Integrated Circuits came along, the whole field of electronICs exploded.

Abstract: As industrial control systems (ICss) have become increasingly connected and use more off-the-shelfcomponents, new vulnerabilities to cyber attacks have emerged. This tutorial looks at three types of ICss:programmable logic controllers (PLCs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, anddistributed control systems (DCSs), and then discusses security issues and remedies. This document alsoexplains the benefits and limitations of two cryptographic solutions (digital signatures and encryption) andelaborates on the reasons for using security ICs in an ICs to support cryptography.
