Design and Fundamentals of Digital Systems

This lecture covers the fundamentals of Digital Systems, explaining how they are constructed from a specification. It delves into the development of digital systems, the need for discretization in digital systems, the advantages of binary representation, and the key differences between hardware and software. The lecture also discusses the process of building complex digital systems, mapping tasks to architecture building blocks, and deciding on implementation options. It concludes with examples of different implementation options and the trend towards higher integration in digital systems.
