Abstract

The term logic design refers to the process of specifying an interconnection of logic elements in digital computer hardware so that a desired function is performed. Examples of this process might be the design of a circuit that would accept data representing numbers in a Gray code and convert this data into a binarycoded decimal representation, or the specification of the gates and interconnections required to implement the arithmetic unit of a computer. Both formal and ad hoc techniques are used to achieve the desired design.
