Algorithms for library-specific sizing of combinational logic
Pak Kwong CHAN · 2002
We examine the problem of choosing the proper sizes from a cell library for the logic elements of a Boolean network to meet timing constraints on the propagation delay along every path from the primary input to the primary output. If the Boolean network has a tree topology, we show that there exists a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for finding the optimal solution to this problem. A backtracking-based algorithm for finding feasible solutions for networks that are not trees is also suggested and evaluated.
