Abstract
As a relatively new application area for LOTOS (Language Of Temporal Ordering Specification), the specification of digital logic is investigated. A specification approach is evolved and justified, illustrated with basic logic gates and the larger example of a keyboard controller. The construction and validation of the digital component library are discussed, along with a retrieval tool that allows access to the library.
