Abstract

A system called SYCLOP that synthesizes finite-state machines (FSMs) and combinational logic for low-power applications is presented. SYCLOP tries to minimize the area and the transition density at the internal nodes of a CMOS circuit. The minimization is based on the input signal probabilities and the transition densities. Using this system, a particular circuit can be optimally synthesized for different applications. Results have been obtained for a wide range of benchmark examples
