Facilitating Abstract Hardware Design by Kevin Morris The history of digital hardware design is one of managing ever-increasing complexity by raising the level of design abstraction. When our digital circuits had four inputs, it was completely reasonable to do logic minimization with a Karnaugh map. When sequential logic was involved, a state diagram was a nice way to work things out, and we could generally draw a single page schematic with a dozen or so logic gates describing our implementation. As the number of logic gates soared, though, those schematics became hundreds...
