TOBOL - a new methodology for the top-to-bottom level hardware description in VLSI design-automation systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Entry/PoemConference contribution

Abstract

The TOBOL methodology for hardware description from top to bottom level is proposed. Multilevel circuit descriptions can efficiently be provided for diversified purposes. Low-level (such as transistor-level) design information can easily be attached into high-level descriptions. TOBOL utilizes consistent data representations at different levels and allows the integration of circuit descriptions at different levels into a single unified system. Therefore, redundant information is greatly reduced, and efficient access of right functional abstractions of circuits is achieved.
