Datapath synthesis for standard-cell design goes through extraction of arithmetic operations from RTL code, high-level arithmetic optimizations and netlist generation. Numerous ar...
Commercial tools for standard-cell based datapath design are here classed according to design flows, and the advantages of each class are discussed with the results of two test ci...
: Over the years, many design methodologies/tools and layout architectures have been developed for datapath-oriented designs. One commonly used approach for high-speed datapath des...
