Abstract :
A quick turn-around time (QTAT) approach to ASIC design using a rule-based expert system called Knowledge Based Silicon Compiler (KBSC) is described. KBSC provides ASIC designers with an interactive graphic interface for flow chart entry to automatic logic synthesis. KBSC took approximately 1/5 the time required by non-KBSC methods
