With grapMG some very complex modules have been designed for use in a silicon compiler for digital signal processing chips. Successful application of module generation in this compiler is made possible because a new design strategy simplifies the adaptation of modules to other technologies. The investment in the development of new modules is small compared to traditional procedural methods. In this paper the design strategy is presented together with the facilities that are available in the module design environment.","PeriodicalId":187183,"journal":{"name":"ESSCIRC '89: Proceedings of the 15th European Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122235176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Carlsruhe Digital Design System (CADDY) solves both tasks. Starting from a behavioral circuit description CADDY generates the structure of the datapath and a control graph (CG), which is the starting point for the synthesis of a finite state machine. In this paper we will concentrate on CASTOR, the FSM synthesis part in CADDY. It is well adapted to the properties of the internally generated contol graphs, but it is also a stand alone FSM synthesis system. We will first describe the FSM structure generator in CASTOR, then a new state assignment algorithm. Finally we will present our results for a standard benchmark set.","PeriodicalId":187183,"journal":{"name":"ESSCIRC '89: Proceedings of the 15th European Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117298975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The filter is part of an implantable device powered by a ± 1.2 V battery, can drive up to 30 pF of capacitive load, and uses a 2 kHz master clock. Substantial reduction in the power consumption has been achieved by using a novel amplifier timesharing technique which allows to realize an arbitrary number of biquadratic cells with only ruo amplifiers. Further power saving was obtained with the use of positive feedback in the amplifier input stage to enhance its transconductance. The prototype chip requires an area of 2200 mils2.","PeriodicalId":187183,"journal":{"name":"ESSCIRC '89: Proceedings of the 15th European Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114527807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
