Abstract
Levels of abstraction in design are explained in a very easy-to-understand style. Initially, the article focuses on the mechanics behind the abstraction principles and abstraction levels in the electronic design. It also takes into account the effect technology development has on the evolution of abstraction. Abstractions such as RTL, TLM and high-level design are reviewed.
