Question: Literature Search: It is also important for a digital systems engineer to keep up to-date with the latest custom chips and the techniques employed in their design. These chips are reported in conferences such as the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the Microprocessor Forum, and Hot Chips. Industry newsletters such as Microprocessor Report are also a good source of information on this topic. Look up a contemporary microprocessor chip in a recent copy (within the last year) of one of these conference proceedings or newsletters. Discuss the digital-systems techniques employed. How is clock distribution performed? How are on-chip power supplies handled? What types of signaling conventions are used?
