FPGA synthesis using function decomposition
Yung-Te Lai, Kuo-IRueih Ricky Pan, Massoud Pedram · 2002
Presents two Boolean methods for identifying common subfunctions from multiple-output functions. The first method is based on encoding the distinct columns in the stacked decomposition chart of the multiple-output function; the second method is based on the examination and encoding of all possible subfunctions that can be generated from a function with respect to a given subset of input variables. We then apply these methods to the synthesis of lookup-table based field programmable gate arrays. Experimental results are very encouraging.>
