    Abstract

    Modern circuit implementation technologies (FPGAs, CPLDs, complex gates, etc.) introduce new implementation constraints and optimization criteria to sequential circuit synthesis. Moreover, to ensure good quality results, these criteria need to be applied throughout the entire circuit synthesis process, starting at state encoding. In this paper, we present new methods and tools for state encoding and combinational synthesis of sequential circuits based on new criteria of information flow optimization. Together they form a unified and complete pre-placement synthesis chain. Experimental results indicate that the unified, information-driven approach is effective, resulting in circuits from IWLS benchmark being on average 25% smaller and 30% faster than those synthesized by another state-of-the-art tools.
