Given a multi-modal dynamical system, optimal switching logic synthesis involves generating conditions for switching between the system modes such that the resulting hybrid system...
Due to the dramatic increase in design complexity, verifying the functional correctness of a circuit is becoming more difficult. Therefore, bugs may escape all verification effo...
It has been shown that Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) based logic synthesis enjoys faster runtime than the classic logic synthesis systems based on Sum of Product (SOP) form. Howev...
Abstract--Field-programmable gate-array (FPGA) logic synthesis and technology mapping have been studied extensively over the past 15 years. However, progress within the last few ye...
As we move towards nanometer technology, manufacturing problems become overwhelmingly difficult to solve. Presently, optimization for manufacturability is performed at a post-synt...

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 ...
Previous approaches to designing random pattern testable circuits use post-synthesis test point insertion to eliminate random pattern resistant (r.p.r.) faults. The approach taken...
Abstract Althoughtremendousadvanceshave been accomplished in logic synthesis in the past two decades, in some cases logic synthesis still cannot attain the improvements possible by...
In this paper, we propose a new logic synthesis methodology to deal with the increasing importance of the interconnect delay in deepsubmicron technologies. We first show that conv...

In many modern designs, timing is either a key optimization goal and/or a mandatory constraint. We propose the first intellectual property protection technique using watermarking ...
