Abstract

See full text

A set of module generators produce optimized implementations of particular circuit logic arithmetic functions for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) or other digital circuits. The module generators allow a circuit designer to spend more time actually designing and less time determining device-specific implementation details. The module generators accept a high level block diagram schematic of the circuit and automatically perform the detailed circuit design, including propagation of data types (precision and type) through the circuit, and low level circuit design optimization using a library of arithmetic and logic functions. The module generators are particularly useful for designs using field programmable gate arrays because of their unique architectures and ability to implement complex functions.
