Logic Synthesis
摘要
This chapter delves into the subject of logic synthesis within the FPGA design process. It involves the conversion of high-level hardware description language (HDL) code, such as Verilog or VHDL, into a lower-level gate-level netlist that is suitable for FPGA implementation. The chapter covers the essentials of Boolean logic, logic optimization, technology mapping to FPGAs, and AI in logic synthesis. Once the logic synthesis process is complete, the resulting gate-level netlist serves as input to the FPGA physical implementation tools.
