SYN 2.01, Synthesis of speed-independent circuits


From: Peter Beerel (pabeerel@viterbi.stanford.edu)
SPECIFICATION: State Graph specification description which satisfies complete state coding (CSC) and is distributive with input choice.
IMPLEMENTATION:
  • Net list description of speed-independent circuit.
  • Specification and implementation files compatible with AVER, a speed-independent circuit verifier written by Dave Dill (dill@hohum.stanford.edu).
DELAY MODEL: Unbounded gate delay model
BASIC GATES USED: ANDs, ORs, C_Elements with unlimited fanin and possible attached input inverters.
CONNECTION WITH OTHER TOOLS:
I have modified a version of SIS to generate the low-level state graph from an STG. I have also written a converter from extended burst-mode FSMs (kyy@paperchase.stanford.edu, nowick@cs.stanford.edu) to state graphs with semi-automated state variable insertion. Both are available upon request.
EXTENSIONS: SYN 3.0 soon to be available (hopefully): Synthesis with basic gates with limited fanin.
AVAILABILITY: SYN 2.01 can be obtained through anonymous FTP from here (snooze.stanford.edu). Associated papers (TAU '92 and ICCAD '92) are also FTPable.
