Abstract
A system has been developed to perform multilevel logic synthesis onto PALs for designs that will not fit in two-level sum of products form. The procedure is based upon the application of technology dependent selective collapse algorithms on a multilevel circuit. The multilevel circuit may be obtained using a number of different synthesis strategies. The packages have been implemented in C and added to SIS, the sequential synthesis system developed at Berkeley. Results compare favourably with the best previous system known.
