Abstract

The term logic synthesis is used to describe systems that range from relatively simple mapping schemes to tools with sophisticated logic optimizations. In this tutorial, the requirements on logic synthesis systems will be discussed and the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to logic synthesis will be presented.
