Circuit architecture derivation starting from a formal requirements specification considering a DDS as example

H. Garbe, R. Richter, and H.-J. Jentschel

Abstract. Based on a formal specification of a direct digital synthesis (DDS) and assuming the availability of a set of possible circuit architectures we derive a customised system configuration.

We calculate the design parameters that can be used for the specification to synthesise the circuit components. We show how the derived parameters and the selected IC technology influence the complexity of the circuit implementation.
