Paper Summary:
Over the years, there has been an evolution of the universal
building blocks used by logic circuit designers. In the mid 1960s, there were SSI gates; NAND, NOR, EXOR, and NOT or INVERT. In the early 1970s, MSI blocks, registers, decoders, multiplexers, and other blocks made their appearances.

Overview
Over the years, there has been an evolution of the universal
building blocks used by logic circuit designers. In the mid 1960s, there were SSI gates; NAND, NOR, EXOR, and NOT or INVERT. In the early 1970s, MSI blocks, registers, decoders, multiplexers, and other blocks made their appearances. In the late 1970s, ALUs (arithmetic logic units) with on board scratchpad registers, interrupt controllers, microprogram sequencers, ROMs/PROMs, and other LSI devices up to and including a complete one chip microprocessor (control, ALU and registers) became readily available(Qian, 1997). From this the PC was born.
In the realm of microelectronics, smaller means faster."
During the last 2 decades, the number of transistors crammed onto
