  • Incremental logic synthesis system for revisions of logic circuit designs
    Patent number: 6484292
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing incremental design changes. In various embodiments, primary outputs of a new design are compared for logical equivalence to corresponding primary outputs of a prior implementation. If the logic is equivalent, the implementation of the primary outputs from the prior implementation is reused to implement the corresponding primary outputs of the new design.
