  • Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) synthesis based on lookup table (LUT) mapping and optimization
    Patent number: 11669665
    Abstract: A logic network for an integrated circuit is synthesized as follows. The logic network is mapped to a network of lookup tables (LUTs). The LUT mapping is based at least in part on estimated areas of the LUTs. The individual LUTs in the network are improved (LUT optimization), for example using various Boolean optimization techniques. The network of improved LUTs is then reduced to a gate-level netlist of standard cells.
