Abstract:
A computer-aided design (CAD) tool is provided for logic optimization and synthesis. The CAD tool executes a process that involves optimizing power, performance, and area (PPA) of a logic circuit by minimizing a number of CMOS gates, and majority and/or minority gates in the circuit and its depth. The CAD tool implements a methodology of optimizing logic synthesis based on a mix of standard cell libraries (such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, Multiplexer, full adder, half adder, etc.) and varying input majority and minority gates (where the number of inputs in the minority and majority gates could vary as odd numbers from 3 and above). The standard cell libraries cells may contain minority and/or majority gates.
