Output phase assignment for area and power minimization in PLAs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fairly good amount of optimization can be achieved in PLA-based two-level realization of circuits using a proper choice of phases for the subfunctions. This paper presents a genetic algorithm-based approach for selection of output phases to optimize the PLA for area and power. The results obtained are superior to those reported in the literature. Finally, a trade-off has been made to perform a weighted minimization of area and power. It has been shown that a range of solutions can be achieved with varying degree of area and power optimization using different weightages to the area requirement and the power consumption of the resulting PLA.

PLA Minimization for Low Power VLSI Designs
In this paper we study the problem of optimizing the two-level representation of a Boolean function in order to minimize power consumption in PLAs. We first give power models used to estimate the power consumption in pseudo-NMOS and dynamic PLAs. Using these power cost functions we then prove that a minimum power solution for dynamic PLAs consists only of prime implicants of the function. For p...

This paper presents a design method for three-level programmable logic arrays (PLAs), which have input decoders and two-input EXOR gates at the outputs. The PLA realizes an EXOR of two sum-ofproducts expressions (EX-SOP) for multiple-valued input two-valued output functions. We developed an output phase optimization method for EXSOPs where some outputs of the function are minimized in the compl...

In this paper, we address the problem of state assignment to minimise both area and power dissipation for Finite State Machine designs. We propose a new matching-based state-assignment algorithm which considers area and state transitions simultiG neously. Experimental results on a set of benchmarks demonstrate that our approach is indeed very effective in minimising both area and power dissipat...
متن کاملPLA-based regular structures and their synthesis
Two regular circuit structures based on the programmable logic array (PLA) are proposed. They provide alternatives to the widely used standard-cell structure and have better predictability and simpler design methodologies. A whirlpool PLA is a cyclic four-level structure, which has a compact layout. Doppio-ESPRESSO, a four-level logic minimization algorithm, is developed for the synthesis of Wh...
