Digital Logic Circuit Design MethodI am convinced that digital electronic devices are important, but what kind of design or troubleshooting will an engineer be involved?In general, engineering design algorithm goes from high level abstractions to detail work. block diagram > function description > register level > transistor level design An engineer can expect to work at all levels, and note that there does not exist clear cut boundaries between each level. More particular, what kinds of knowledge and skills a digital logic circuit designer needs? Digital logic circuit design is branch of electrical, electronic or computer engineering. In particular, a digital logic circuit designer needs the background of boolean algebra, binary and other number systems, and sampling theory. Also, the designer needs to know how to apply CAD tools, or computer assisted design tools in his design. For calculation, simulation, and documentation the CAD tools such as Pspice, Electronics Workbench, MATLAB, MaxIIplus, and VHDL are employed. You told me what is a digital signal, and the general digital logic circuit design process. Now, tell me what kind of products I can design? I can only say that most modern devices are digital, for example digital television, camera, and computers. I am completely at lost. You talked about digital signals. How do you leap to designing computational devices? (Continueous Question) |
