Abstract

A Boolean technology mapping with permissible functions is presented. This technique makes use of complementary intermediate logic functions of circuits. Therefore, complementary outputs of ECL gates can be easily handled. High-quality synthesized ECL circuits and CMOS circuits free of logical redundancies are generated. Technology-independent networks are converted into technology-dependent virtual gates network. Virtual gates have an arbitrary number of fan-ins. CMOS virtual networks consist of only NOR and NAND gates, while ECL virtual networks consists of only OR gates (but each gate has complementary outputs). By considering logic function and the device restrictions these virtual gate networks are translated into cell networks using permissible functions.
