An eagerly anticipated, up-to-date guide to essential digital design fundamentalsOffering a modern, updated approach to digital design, this much-needed book reviews basic design fundamentals before diving into specific details of design optimization. You begin with an examination of the low-levels of design, noting a clear distinction between design and gate-level minimization. The author then progresses to the key uses of digital design today, and how it is used to build high-performance alternatives to software. · Offers a fresh, up-to-date approach to digital design, whereas most literature available is sorely outdated · Progresses though low levels of design, making a clear distinction between design and gate-level minimization · Addresses the various uses of digital design today · Enables you to gain a clearer understanding of applying digital design to your life
