SYLON-DREAM: a multi-level network synthesizer

SYLON-DREAM, a logic network synthesizer which consists of SYLON-DREAM-INI for designing initial networks and SYLON-DREAM-MIN for further optimization, is presented. Unlike the networks designed by other approaches, those designed by SYLON-DREAM consist of MOS cells satisfying given constraints on the maximum number of series and parallel transistors. Such networks can be easily realized by a cell generator or mapped to the gates in existing cell libraries.<
