What will we learn in CSE370?
The language of logic design
- Boolean algebra, logic minimization, state, timing, CAD
The concept of state in digital systems
- Analogous to state in software systems
How to compile our designs
- logic synthesis compiles code into programmable hardware
Contrast with software design
- Both map well-posed problems to physical devices
- Both must be flawless…this is the price we pay for using discrete math
