Abstract

We have developed a high-speed, light-weight logic synthesis system, called Alis, with a high-level library of mathematical operation circuits for signal processing. Instead of minimizing circuit logic, we have concentrated on synthesizing better operation circuits using optimal cells of the target ASIC library because most of digital AV signal processing circuits are mathematical operation circuits. As a result, our system can synthesize circuits at least 10 times faster than conventional commercial synthesis systems
