    摘要: To produce a logic circuit with excellent characteristics including area, delay time and power consumption by combining pass transistor logic circuits and CMOS logic circuits, a binary decision diagram is created from a Boolean function. Respective nodes are mapped into 2-input, 1-output, 1-control input pass transistor selectors to synthesize a pass transistor logic circuit. A pass transistor selector operating as a NAND or NOR logic with any one of its two inputs, excluding the control input, being fixed to a logical constant “1” or “0” is replaced with a CMOS gate operating as a NAND or NOR logic logically equivalent to the pass transistor selector if the value of a predetermined circuit characteristic obtained by the replacement is closer to an optimal value.

    摘要: For the relation between the first and second pass-transistor circuits (PT1, PT2), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the gate of the succeeding-stage, and for the relation between the second and third pass-transistor circuits (PT2, PT3), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the source-drain path of the succeeding-stage. The first pass-transistor circuit (PT1) receives on its first input node (In1) and second input node (In2) the first input signal and the second input signal that are logically independent from each other. This logic circuit requires a smaller number of transistors and is capable of reducing the power consumption and delay and accomplishing an intricate logic function.

    摘要: Even if only logic circuits described in HDL are distributed over a network, if the logic synthesis ability is insufficient, the overall design capability cannot be enhanced; e.g., a sufficient performance of a gate level logic circuit cannot be attained, or it takes a long time to complete logic synthesis. Considering design skills for logic synthesis are considered as property, the invention enables distribution of design skills between a plurality of design sites over a network interconnecting computers. Charges for a design skill are set for the rates of improvement to the performance of the logic circuit that was refined by the design skill. Desired circuit performance can be attained in a shorter period by shortening the design phases in which an RTL logic circuit is supplied as input and by logic synthesis thereon, a gate level logic circuit is output.
