Title
Efficient use of large don't cares in high-level and logic synthesis
Abstract
This paper describes optimization techniques using don't-care conditions that span the domain of high-level and logic synthesis. The following three issues are discussed: 1) how to describe and extract don't-care conditions from high-level descriptions; 2) how to pass don't-care conditions from high-level to logic synthesis; and 3) how to optimize the logic using don't-care conditions. Efficient techniques are given for these three problems which allow the use of large don't-care sets. Results from several examples demonstrate that these techniques are very effective for both area and delay minimization.
