Description
Summary:Technology mapping program implements a sequential circuit using the gates of a particular technology library. It is an integral component of any automated VLSI circuit design flow. The structure of the program for solving the technology mapping problem and formats of the source and result data are presented. Models of intermediate representations of the sequential circuit and their conversions are described. Technology mapping is a stage of logic synthesis and it is viewed as the transformation of a functional (i.e., algebraic) circuit specification into a gate (i.e., netlist) specification. The program is included as project operations in the VLSI CAD system for energy-saving logical synthesis developed in the United Institute of Informatics Problems of NAS of Belarus.
