The text focuses heavily on digital circuits, detailing logic gates, multiplexers, and complex arithmetic circuit design (adders, multipliers) 1.2.4.
However, the core principles in Pucknell’s book remain vital. Modern EDA tools require human optimization. An engineer who understands physical layout, sheet resistance, and cross-talk—concepts thoroughly taught by Pucknell—will always write better, more efficient code than one who treats hardware as abstract software.
