This book carefully details design tools and techniques for high-performance ASIC design.
Using these techniques, the performance of ASIC designs can be improved by two to three …

We investigate the differences in speed between applicationspecific integrated circuits and
custom integrated circuits when each are implemented in the same process technology, with …

A large set of ASICs uses much more transistors than its necessity, as they use a library of
cells with a limited amount of logic functions. This small number of logic functions in a …

The number of transistors required for the implementation of a logic function is a
fundamental consideration in digital VLSI design. While the determination of a series …

This paper proposes a library-free technology mapping algorithm to reduce delay in
combinational circuits. The algorithm reduces the overall number of series transistors …

US7003738B2 - Process for automated generation of design-specific complex functional
blocks to improve quality of synthesized digital integrated circuits in CMOS using altering …

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of how transistor level optimizations can
be used to increase design quality of CMOS logic gate networks. Different properties of …

Combining various knowledge types-and reasoning methods-in knowledge-based systems
is a challenge to the knowledge representation task. The paper describes an object …

An effective way to compare logic techniques, logic families, or cell libraries is by means of
power (or area) versus delay plots, since the efficiency of achieving a particular delay is of …

This paper addresses the question of how many serial switches are necessary to implement
a given logic function as a switch network. This issue is important because it affects directly …
