If a binary signal is sent over a 3-khz channel whose signal-to-noise ratio is 20db, what is the maximum achievable data rate? ( analyze based on nyquist theorem and shannon theorem. maximum data rate is limited by the smaller value of nyquist limit and shannon limit. note that, the s/n in shannon equation is just a ratio, not in the unit of ‘db’.)

Problems: 1. using textbooks, reference books, and internet as your source of research, draw the following microprocessor microarchitectures i. intel 8086 ii. motorola 68000 i atmel atmega32 iv. mips single cycle v. arm cortex-m3 write an hdl module for a hexadecimal seven-segment display decoder. the input is 4-bit binary representing a hex number (0-f), and the output is 8-bit seven segment display bits (a-h). thus, the decoder must handle the digits 10 - 15 to display a-f respectively, in addition to 0-9 numbers. 2. design a 4-bit left and right rotator (both outputs). first sketch schematic diagrams of your design. then implement your design using hdl coding. 3. 4. design a modified priority encoder that receives an 8-bit input, a7: 0 and produces a 3-bit output, y2o. y indicates the most significant bit of the input that is true. y should be 0 if none of the inputs are true. give a simplified boolean equation, sketch a schematic, and write an hdl code. 5.write an 8: 1 multiplexer module called mux8 with selection inputs s, data input d, and data output y. data input (d) and data output (v) are 32-bit wide

Assume that you have an sorted array of records. assume that the length of the array (n) is known. give two different methods to search for a specific value in this array. you can use english or pseudo-code for your algorithm. what is the time complexity for each algorithm and why?

If your accelerator suddenly gets stuck what should you do
