The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
Logic synthesis has made impressive progress in the last decade and has pervaded digital design replacing almost universally manual techniques. A remarkable exception is computer ...
This paper describes a multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) system for the synthesis of efficient non-linear VLSI circuit modules. The EA takes the specification for a no...
We propose a hierarchical mixed signal design methodology based on the principles of Platform-Based Design (PBD). The methodology is a meet-in-the-middle approach where design com...
