Rs. Mitra et al., A NEW ALGORITHM FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DESIGN FUNCTIONS BY AVAILABLE DEVICES, IEEE transactions on very large scale integration (VLSI) systems, 4(2), 1996, pp. 170-180
In CAD systems, it is often required to implement desired behaviors by
some available device. The selection of the device that can implement
the behavior, and the required interfacing, is usually done by human
experts, The interface consists of transformations that may have to be
performed on the inputs and outputs of the device, This paper describ
es an approach to automatically derive the specifications of the devic
e's interface, For sequential circuits, the behaviors are often repres
ented as FSM's, and hence the task is to determine whether the FSM of
the desired function can be contained in the FSM of the device, subjec
t to the transformations of the interface, A related objective, addres
sed in this paper, is to model the behaviors of complex devices in a w
ay that facilitates the analysis.
