The complexity of two-level logic minimization is a topic of interest to both computer-aided
design (CAD) specialists and computer science theoreticians. In the logic synthesis …

We present the E sterel programming language which is especially designed to program
reactive systems, that is systems which maintain a permanent interaction with their …

Since their introduction in 1984, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become
one of the most popular implementation media for digital circuits and have grown into a $2 …

In this paper, we propose a paradigm shift in representing and optimizing logic by using only
majority (MAJ) and inversion (INV) functions as basic operations. We represent logic …

This paper presents a technique for preprocessing combinational logic before technology
mapping. The technique is based on the representation of combinational logic using And …

This paper informally presents the theoretical and practical foundations of synchronous
programming of reactive systems, mostly focusing on the author's Esterel language …

Low power has emerged as a principal theme in today's electronics industry. The need for
low power has caused a major paradigm shift in which power dissipation is as important as …

This book provides broad and comprehensive coverage of the entire EDA flow. EDA/VLSI
practitioners and researchers in need of fluency in an" adjacent" field will find this an …

An evolutionary algorithm is used as an engine for discovering new designs of digital
circuits, particularly arithmetic functions. These designs are often radically different from …

We present a new synthesis strategy that can automate fully the path from an analog circuit
topology and performance specifications to a sized circuit schematic. This strategy relies on …
