Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer-aided design (CAD) of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits is concerned with the development of computer programs for the automated design and manufacture of ICs. Automated VLSI design is referred to as VLSI synthesis. Synthesis of VLSI circuits involves transforming a specification of circuit behavior into a mask-level layout which can be fabricated using VLSI manufacturing processes. Optimization strategies are vital in VLSI synthesis in order to meet desired specifications. However, the optimization problems encountered in VLSI synthesis are typically nondeterministic polynomial-time (NP)-complete or NP-hard. Therefore, solutions to the optimization problems incorporate heuristic strategies, the development of which requires a thorough understanding of the problem at hand. Thus, optimization-based VLSI synthesis has evolved into a rich and exciting area of research. Automata theory forms a cornerstone of digital VLSI system design. Sequential Logic Synthesis deals exclusively with finite automata theory and practice. The extensive use of finite state automata, finite state machines (FSMs) or simple sequential logic

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The roots of the project which culminates with the writing of this book can be traced to the work on logic synthesis started in 1979 at the IBM Watson Research Center and at University of California, Berkeley. During the preliminary phases of these projects, the impor tance of logic minimization for the synthesis of area and performance effective circuits clearly emerged. In 1980, Richard Newton stirred our interest by pointing out new heuristic algorithms for two-level logic minimization and the potential for improving upon existing approaches. In the summer of 1981, the authors organized and participated in a seminar on logic manipulation at IBM Research. One of the goals of the seminar was to study the literature on logic minimization and to look at heuristic algorithms from a fundamental and comparative point of view. The fruits of this investigation were surprisingly abundant: it was apparent from an initial implementation of recursive logic minimiza tion (ESPRESSO-I) that, if we merged our new results into a two-level minimization program, an important step forward in automatic logic synthesis could result. ESPRESSO-II was born and an APL implemen tation was created in the summer of 1982. The results of preliminary tests on a fairly large set of industrial examples were good enough to justify the publication of our algorithms. It is hoped that the strength and speed of our minimizer warrant its Italian name, which denotes both express delivery and a specially-brewed black coffee.

Download or read book Logic Synthesis for Control Automata written by Samary Baranov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic Synthesis for Control Automata provides techniques for logic design of very complex control units with hardly any constraints on their size, i.e. the number of inputs, outputs and states. These techniques cover all stages of control unit design, including: description of control unit behavior by using operator schemes of algorithms (binary decision trees) and various transformations of these descriptions -- composition, decomposition, minimization, etc.; synthesis of a control automaton (finite-state machine); synthesis of an automaton logic circuit: with matrix structure as a part of LSI or VLSI circuits; as multilevel circuit with logic gates; with standard LSI and VLSI circuits with and without memory. Each chapter contains many examples, illustrating the use of the models and methods described. Moreover, the special last chapter demonstrates in detail the whole design methodology presented in the previous chapters, through the examples of the logic design for a control unit. The models, methods and algorithms described in the book can be applied to a broad class of digital system design problems including design of complex controllers, robots, control units of computers and for designing CAD systems of VLSI circuits using FPGA, PLD and SIC technologies. Logic Synthesis for Control Automata is a valuable reference for graduate students, researchers and engineers involved in the design of very complex controllers, VLSI circuits and CAD systems. The inclusion of many examples and problems makes it most suitable for a course on the subject.

Download or read book The Synthesis Approach to Digital System Design written by Petra Michel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1992-03-31 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade there has been a dramatic change in the role played by design automation for electronic systems. Ten years ago, integrated circuit (IC) designers were content to use the computer for circuit, logic, and limited amounts of high-level simulation, as well as for capturing the digitized mask layouts used for IC manufacture. The tools were only aids to design-the designer could always find a way to implement the chip or board manually if the tools failed or if they did not give acceptable results. Today, however, design technology plays an indispensable role in the design ofelectronic systems and is critical to achieving time-to-market, cost, and performance targets. In less than ten years, designers have come to rely on automatic or semi automatic CAD systems for the physical design ofcomplex ICs containing over a million transistors. In the past three years, practical logic synthesis systems that take into account both cost and performance have become a commercial reality and many designers have already relinquished control ofthe logic netlist level of design to automatic computer aids. To date, only in certain well-defined areas, especially digital signal process ing and telecommunications. have higher-level design methods and tools found significant success. However, the forces of time-to-market and growing system complexity will demand the broad-based adoption of high-level, automated methods and tools over the next few years.

This book was released on 1989-10-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently there has been increased interest in the development of computer-aided design programs to support the system level designer of integrated circuits more actively. Such design tools hold the promise of raising the level of abstraction at which an integrated circuit is designed, thus releasing the current designers from many of the details of logic and circuit level design. The promise further suggests that a whole new group of designers in neighboring engineering and science disciplines, with far less understanding of integrated circuit design, will also be able to increase their productivity and the functionality of the systems they design. This promise has been made repeatedly as each new higher level of computer-aided design tool is introduced and has repeatedly fallen short of fulfillment. This book presents the results of research aimed at introducing yet higher levels of design tools that will inch the integrated circuit design community closer to the fulfillment of that promise. 1. 1. SYNTHESIS OF INTEGRATED CmCUITS In the integrated circuit (Ie) design process, a behavior that meets certain specifications is conceived for a system, the behavior is used to produce a design in terms of a set of structural logic elements, and these logic elements are mapped onto physical units. The design process is impacted by a set of constraints as well as technological information (i. e. the logic elements and physical units used for the design).

Download or read book From Algorithm to Digital System written by Samary Baranov and published by Samary Baranov. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about how to use the Synthagate tool for the design of complex digital systems at the High Level and Register Transfer Level. Specifically, it demonstrates how to use Synthagate through the design of a processor to showcase the potential of Synthagate. The main difference between Synthagate and other design tools is that the designer is not required to use hardware description languages. Instead, Synthagate uses Algorithmic State Machines (ASMs) at the different steps of design. Synthagate covers most digital system designs from DSP to Processing Units. This tool can be used in the design of robots, controllers, processors, IoT & AI systems, video and voice processing systems, digital systems for automated and autonomous cars, et cetera. Most importantly, not only experienced hardware designers, but application engineers can design complex digital systems with Synthagate. Synthagate can also be useful for students and educators of universities and colleges in courses such as Digital system design, Systems on the chips, VLSI system design, Embedded systems, Computer system architecture and many others. How should you begin to work with the Synthagate tool and this book? First, you can download the Synthagate tool for two months for free at www.synthezza.com/download-synthagate. If you are familiar with FSM and ASM, head straight to Chapter 2. In the second chapter, I demonstrate the design of a Processor with Synthagate in detail. You can take the example of the same Processor (in folder Cpu_4_16_8Altera in GUI.ZIP) from the benchmark's list (www.synthezza.com/hsl-and-rtl-benchmarks) and follow the step-by-step design guide explained in the second chapter. Of course, you can take any example from benchmarks and do the same. Or try to design a device that has behavior you are familiar with. If you have any ideas, suggestions, or comments, we would be delighted to hear from you at [email protected].
