Abstract

A new technique for the logic synthesis of asynchronous circuits is presented. It is based on the structural theory of Petri nets and integer linear programming. The techniqueis capable of checking implementability conditions, such as,complete state coding, and deriving a gate netlist to implement the specified behavior. This technique can synthesize specifications with few thousands of transitions in the Petrinet, providing a speed-up of several orders of magnitudewith regard to other existing techniques.
