Title
Hardware synthesis from requirement specifications
Abstract
This paper describes the theory and implementation of a novel system for hardware synthesis from requirement spec- ifications expressed in a graphical specification language called Symbolic Timing Diagrams (STD). The system can be used together with an existing formal-verification envi- ronment for VHDL leading to a novel methodology based on the combination of synthesis and formal verification. We show the feasibility of the approach and experimental re- sults obtained with the system on the well known example of an industrial production cell, where both FPGA and ASIC hardware implementations were successfully synthesized.
