摘要:
A circuit design tool which includes (1) separating structural and functional aspects of components, so as to specify the desired functional behaviour of the component, leaving the actual gate-level design of the component to the design tool; (2) translating a model of the desired logical behaviour of a circuit into a regularized set of functional components to achieve that desired behaviour; (3) verifying structural equivalence between pairs of components; (4) a method for bit-reversing the signal flow in a component; (5) a method for performing arithmetic operations backwards from a natural order; (6) an architecture for a multiplier which is faster and more compact than known multipliers; and (7) a method of translating a logic equation into a netlist of connected logic gates.
