Abstract

Due to weaknesses in circuit synthesis methods used in today´s CAD tools, the opportunities created by modern microelectronic technology cannot effectively be exploited. This paper considers the issues and requirements of circuit synthesis for the nano CMOS technologies, and discusses our new circuit synthesis technology that satisfies these requirements. The new technology considerably differs from all other known synthesis methods and overcomes their main weaknesses. The experimental results demonstrate that it produces very fast, compact and low-power circuits. The new technology has however many more major advantages that are discussed in the paper.
