  1. ELEC 2200-002Digital Logic CircuitsFall 2008Logic Synthesis (Chapters 2-5) Vishwani D. Agrawal James J. Danaher Professor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849 http://www.eng.auburn.edu/~vagrawal vagrawal@eng.auburn.edu ELEC2200-002 Lecture 6

  2. Logic Synthesis • Definition: To design a logic circuit such that it meets the specifications and can be economically manufactured: • Performance – meets delay specification, or has minimum delay. • Cost – uses minimum hardware, smallest chip area, smallest number of gates or transistors. • Power – meets power specification, or consumes minimum power. • Testablility – has no redundant (untestable) logic and is easily testable. ELEC2200-002 Lecture 6

  3. Synthesis Procedure • Minimization – Obtain MSOP or MPOS. This is also known as two-level minimization because the result can be implemented as a two-level AND-OR or NAND-NAND or NOR-NOR circuit. • Technology mapping – Considering design requirements, transform the minimized form into one of the technologically realizable forms: • Programmable logic array (PLA) • Standard cell library • Field programmable gate array (FPGA) • Other . . .

  12. Standard-Cell Design • Obtain two-level minimized form. • Map the design onto predesigned building blocks called standard cells (technology mapping). • Standard-cell library contains predesigned logic cells in the technology of manufacture. Examples of technology: • 90 nanometer CMOS • 65 nanometer CMOS • 45 nanometer CMOS • . . . • This is known as application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). ELEC2200-002 Lecture 6

  13. Technology Mapping • Find a common logic elements, e.g., two-input NAND gate and inverter. • MSOP is converted into NAND-NAND circuit. • Split gates into library cells, two-input NAND gates and inverters. • Cover the circuit with standard cells, also split into two-input NAND gates and inverters (graph-matching).
