noun — "hardware description language for digital design."
Circuit Design
/ˈsɜːrkɪt dɪˈzaɪn/
noun … “Planning and creating electrical circuits.”
Circuit Design is the process of defining the components, connections, and layout of an electrical or electronic circuit to achieve a specific function. It involves selecting resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, integrated circuits, and other elements, arranging them logically, and ensuring proper operation under desired electrical conditions. Circuit design can be analog, digital, or mixed-signal and is central to developing devices ranging from microprocessors to power systems.
