Integrated Circuits are much smaller and consume less power than the discrete components used to build electronic systems before the 1960s. Integrated circuits are also easier to design and manufacture and are more reliable than discrete systems. The growing sophistication of applications continually pushes the design and manufacturing of integrated circuits and electronic systems to new levels of complexity. Due to major advances in the development of electronics and miniaturization, vendors are capable of building and designing products with increasingly greater functionality, higher performance, lower cost, lower power consumption, and smaller dimensions

While an 8 bit system can perform well for certain applications, the need often arises for 16 or 32 bit units for certain other applications. It is impractical and inefficient to write the linear code for the enhanced systems. Also, the test bench and evaluation of the enhanced system become extremely tedious and error prone. The alternative to this linear coding is the modular approach, where either a 4 bit or 8 bit base unit is efficiently designed with the appropriate Hardware Description Language (HDL) platforms, and then integrate several of these modules in tandem, along with a microcontroller unit, to realize any complex and enhanced digital system. In this article, the authors will discuss such a modular design methodology, and present case studies of 4 bit digital units such as Counters, and Shift-registers. The methodology can be extended easily for any other sized s...
