2.Methodsandstagesindigitalsystems’design

Indigitalsystems’design,aswellasdesignofcomplexsystems,acoupleofmethodsareinuse:

∙       top-downdesigning;

∙       up-downdesigning.

Intop-downdesigningthebuildingupofthesystemisusuallystartedfrombelowinuprightdirectionthroughelaboratingtheelementblocks’schemes,assembledlatertoformthewholeproduct.

Someoftheadvantagesofthemethodsare:

∙       иtallowsaprojects’checkonsystemlevel,withouttacklingthestructuraldetails;

∙       Theproject’scheckisdone,withnoregardtothetechnologyofitsrealization.Thatallowsthatthechoiceoftechnologybemadeonalaterstageofthedesigningproject.

Thedigitalsystems’designgoesthroughthenextstages:

∙       Specification;

∙       Functional（electrical）designing;

∙       Physicaldesigning;

∙       Manufacturing;

∙       Testing.

Throughspecificationtheproductparameters,necessaryforitsproperdestination,aredetermined.
