Download or read book Synthesis of Finite State Machines written by Tiziano Villa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Logic Optimization is the second in a set of two monographs devoted to the synthesis of Finite State Machines (FSMs). The first volume, Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Functional Optimization, addresses functional optimization, whereas this one addresses logic optimization. The result of functional optimization is a symbolic description of an FSM which represents a sequential function chosen from a collection of permissible candidates. Logic optimization is the body of techniques for converting a symbolic description of an FSM into a hardware implementation. The mapping of a given symbolic representation into a two-valued logic implementation is called state encoding (or state assignment) and it impacts heavily area, speed, testability and power consumption of the realized circuit. The first part of the book introduces the relevant background, presents results previously scattered in the literature on the computational complexity of encoding problems, and surveys in depth old and new approaches to encoding in logic synthesis. The second part of the book presents two main results about symbolic minimization; a new procedure to find minimal two-level symbolic covers, under face, dominance and disjunctive constraints, and a unified frame to check encodability of encoding constraints and find codes of minimum length that satisfy them. The third part of the book introduces generalized prime implicants (GPIs), which are the counterpart, in symbolic minimization of two-level logic, to prime implicants in two-valued two-level minimization. GPIs enable the design of an exact procedure for two-level symbolic minimization, based on a covering step which is complicated by the need to guarantee encodability of the final cover. A new efficient algorithm to verify encodability of a selected cover is presented. If a cover is not encodable, it is shown how to augment it minimally until an encodable superset of GPIs is determined. To handle encodability the authors have extended the frame to satisfy encoding constraints presented in the second part. The covering problems generated in the minimization of GPIs tend to be very large. Recently large covering problems have been attacked successfully by representing the covering table with binary decision diagrams (BDD). In the fourth part of the book the authors introduce such techniques and extend them to the case of the implicit minimization of GPIs, where the encodability and augmentation steps are also performed implicitly. Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Logic Optimization will be of interest to researchers and professional engineers who work in the area of computer-aided design of integrated circuits.

Download or read book Logic Synthesis and Optimization Algorithms written by Kuang-Chien Chen and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As VLSI integration size and chip complexity keep increasing, logic design is becoming more complex and it must be automated. The increasing demand for ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) also needs design efficiency and cost effectiveness which can only be achieved by effective automatic logic synthesis tools. In this thesis, two important network realization means, PLA's and multi-level networks (i.e., random logic networks), are studied, and effective algorithms are developed for the use as automatic logic synthesis tools. For the design based on PLA's, an absolute PLA minimization algorithm, PMIN, is presented. PMIN can handle a much larger range of functions than previous absolute minimization algorithms because it incorporated new algorithms for prime implicant generation and the extraction of a minimal subset of prime implicants. Also, a heuristic input variable assignment algorithm for the design of decoded-PLA's using multi-input decoders is incorporated in PMIN, and experimental results show that significant saving in area can be achieved for many functions. For the design of multi-level networks, a synthesis and optimization algorithm, SYLON-DREAM, is presented, which includes algorithms for network design, area optimization and timing optimization. Extensive experimental results are shown to demonstrate the capabilities of these algorithms.
