"A Systematic Approach to Digital System Design"

Using a System of :

• Language
  - A Tool necessary for thinking and communication.
  - A system of Symbols, Rules of usage, Things to do,  and Things not to do.
   
• Techniques
  - A system of Design Methods, Implementation Methods, and Ways to Approach Problems.
   
• Process
  - A phased Design Strategy called:  "Design by Documentation".

• Systematic Design Methods
  - Systematic Top-Down Sequence of Design Decisions and Design Actions.
   
• Structured Documentation System  called "Designing a Design"
  - Picture Oriented
  - Top-Down Record of  Design Decisions and Design Actions.
  - A Trail from "Logical" to "Physical".
  - Adaptable to a wide variety of implementations: discrete, FPGA, CPLD, ASIC, DSP's, Firmware or
    a mix of any or all of these.

DAA's Systematic Approach to Digital System Design is attractive because it has proven effective in over 170 in-house design projects covering a wide variety of application areas.  It is applicable to hardware design, software design, and design in general.  Most important it is "Teachable" it provides a common language for effective communication between design team members as well as with customers and management.  For more information about our approach to Digital Systems Design contact Bill Fletcher.
