This textbook is designed for a second course on digital systems, focused on the design of digital circuits. It was originally designed to accompany a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) created at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), currently available on the Coursera platform. Readers will learn to develop complex digital circuits, starting from a functional specification, will know the design alternatives that a development engineer can choose to reach the specified circuit performance, and will understand which design tools are available to develop a new circuit.
Architecture of Digital Circuits.
Scheduling and Resource Assignment.
Pipeline.
Loops.
Other Topics of Data Path Synthesis.
Control Unit Synthesis.
Input–Output Interfaces.
Development Tools.
