Digital Hardware Design is a 1979 technical book by Ivor Catt, with David S. Walton and Malcolm Davidson, published by The Macmillan Press. It is a reprint (outside North America) of the first volume of the authors' earlier work Digital Electronic Design.
Overview
The book treats the practical design of high-speed digital hardware from the standpoint of transmission-line theory, rather than the lumped-circuit approximations common in conventional textbooks. A central chapter, "Transmission Line Theory Applied to Logic Interconnection," develops Catt's view that fast logic signals on interconnections must be understood as travelling electromagnetic waves. This perspective grew out of Catt's wider, unconventional work on electromagnetism — including the so-called "Catt Question" (or "Catt Anomaly") concerning how charge distributes on a conductor guiding a transverse electromagnetic step.
