Initially we use the very basic building blocks to build slightly larger building blocks and then from these larger building blocks we build yet larger building blocks and so on. Similarly in constructing large digital circuits instead of starting with the basic logic gates as building blocks each time we often start with larger building blocks. Many of these larger building blocks are often used over and over again in different digital circuits and therefore are considered as standard components for large digital circuits. In order to reduce design time these standard components are often available in standard libraries so that they do not have to be redesigned each time that they are needed. For example many digital circuits .
