Abstract

From the Publisher:Synthesis and Optimization of Digital Circuits offers a modern, up-to-date look at computer-aided design (CAD) of very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits. In particular, this book covers techniques for synthesis and optimization of digital circuits at the architectural and logic levels, i.e., the generation of performance-and/or area-optimal circuits representations from models in hardware description languages. The book provides a thorough explanation of synthesis and optimization algorithms accompanied by a sound mathematical formulation and a unified notation. The text covers the following topics: modern hardware description languages (e.g., VHDL, Verilog); architectural-level synthesis of data flow and control units, including algorithms for scheduling and resource binding; combinational logic optimization algorithms for two-level and multiple-level circuits; sequential logic optimization methods; and library binding techniques, including those applicable to FPGAs.
