Abstract
This first chapter divides up into three sections. The first section defines the concept of digital system. For that, the more general concept of physical system is first defined. Then, the particular characteristics of digital physical systems are presented. In the second section, several methods of digital system specification are considered. A correct and unambiguous initial system specification is a key aspect of the development work. Finally, the third section is a brief introduction to digital electronics.
