Good on the spot question. Yes - "column mux" and "column decoder" are the same thing. To be accurate, it is a mux - it is selecting one bitline out of a set of bitlines. The reason the term "decoder" is used is because often the mux is (at least partially) implemented using a decoder, as I explain in the slides.
Hi Vivek. I am not sure about the context of your question, since it was asked as a comment to the video about memory peripherals. If it's a general question about standard cell placement, then please refer to my "Digital VLSI Design" course, where I go into this aspect in great detail. Specifically, the lecture on placement can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/mAXisjzajlw/v-deo.html If the question has other context, please refine it. Thanks.
Hi sir, Thanks for your guiding! It helps a lot.
Most welcome!
hey professor, can you please tell about the is column decoder and column mux the same thing ?? some people write column mux. is there any difference?

Hello professor, I have a question on flip-flops where do we need to place the flip-flops and what decide the flip-flop location?
