Model-Based Engineering for Complex Electronic Systems

Chapter 13

Complex Electronic System Design Example

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.

13.1 Introduction

Having devoted the previous chapters in this book to describing both fundamental modeling and simulation techniques and the concepts for successful design, in many respects the “proof is in the pudding”, and it is now time to put these ideas into practice and develop a design. This chapter will therefore describe the design and implementation of a complete integrated circuit ...
