Synthesis and Optimization of Digital Circuits
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 circuit 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:
