Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Logic optimization, a part of logic synthesis, is the process of finding an equivalent representation of the specified logic circuit under one or more specified constraints. Generally the circuit is constrained to minimum chip area meeting a prespecified delay. With the advent of logic synthesis, one of the biggest challenges faced by the EDA industry was to find the best netlist representation of the given design description. While two-level logic optimization had long existed in the form of the Quine-McCluskey algorithm, later followed by the Espresso heuristic logic minimizer, the rapidly improving chip densities, and the wide adoption of HDLs for circuit description, formalized the logic optimization domain as it exists today.
