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 …

Practically, any digital system includes sequential blocks represented using a model of finite
state machine (FSM). It is very important to improve such FSM characteristics as the number …

Logic synthesis tools synthesize circuit structures to optimize specific targets given
reasonable constraints and runtime using a set of well-defined operators. The efficiency of …

Recently, many models show their superiority in sequence and parameter tuning. However,
they usually generate non-deterministic flows and require lots of training data. We thus …

Functional dependency is concerned with rewriting a Boolean function f as a function h over
a set of base functions {g 1,..., gn), ie f= h (g 1,..., gn). It plays an important role in many …

This paper presents new methods for restructuring logic networks based on fast Boolean
techniques. The basis for these are 1) a cut-based view of a logic network, 2) exploiting the …

Decomposition is a technology-independent process, in which a large complex function is
broken into smaller, less complex functions. The costs of two-level or factored-form …

Publisher Summary Logic synthesis is the process of automatic production of logic
components, in particular digital circuits. It is a subject about how to abstract and represent …

Boolean Satisfiability (SAT)-based routing offers a unique advantage over conventional
routing algorithms by providing an exhaustive approach to find a solution. Despite that …

Static analysis techniques that represent program states as formulas typically generate a
large number of redundant formulas that are incrementally constructed from previous …
