After long years of work that have seen little industrial
application, high-level synthesis is finally on the verge of
becoming a practical tool. The state of high-level synthesis today
is similar to the state of logic synthesis ten years ago. At
present, logic-synthesis tools are widely used in digital system
design. In the future, high-level synthesis will play a key role in
mastering design complexity and in truly exploiting the potential
of ASIes and PLDs, which demand extremely short design cycles. Work
on high-level synthesis began over twenty years ago. Since
substantial progress has been made in understanding the basic then,
problems involved, although no single universally-accepted
theoretical framework has yet emerged. There is a growing number of
publications devoted to high-level synthesis, specialized workshops
are held regularly, and tutorials on the topic are commonly held at
major conferences. This book gives an extensive survey of the
research and development in high-level synthesis. In Part I, a
short tutorial explains the basic concepts used in high-level
synthesis, and follows an example design throughout the synthesis
process. In Part II, current high-level synthesis systems are
surveyed.
The time has come for high-level synthesis. When research into
synthesizing hardware from abstract, program-like de scriptions
started in the early 1970' s, there was no automated path from the
register transfer design produced by high-level synthesis to a
complete hardware imple mentation. As a result, it was very
difficult to measure the effectiveness of high level synthesis
methods; it was also hard to justify to users the need to automate
architecture design when low-level design had to be completed
manually. Today's more mature CAD techniques help close the gap
between an automat ically synthesized design and a manufacturable
design. Market pressures encour age designers to make use of any
and all automated tools. Layout synthesis, logic synthesis, and
specialized datapath generators make it feasible to quickly imple
ment a register-transfer design in silicon, leaving designers more
time to consider architectural improvements. As IC design becomes
more automated, customers are increasing their demands; today's
leading edge designers using logic synthesis systems are training
themselves to be tomorrow's consumers of high-level synthe sis
systems. The need for very fast turnaround, a competitive
fabrication market WhlCh makes small-quantity ASIC manufacturing
possible, and the ever growing co: n plexity of the systems being
designed, all make higher-level design automaton inevitable."

Dieses Buch enthalt die notwendigen Grundlagen fur das Verstandnis
und den Entwurf hochintegrierter MOS-Schaltungen. Obwohl der
rechnerunterstutzte Entwurf dabei im Vordergrund steht, werden die
notwendigen physikalischen und elektrotechnischen Grundbegriffe
nicht vernachlassigt. Auch wird die Herstellung integrierter
Schaltungen kurz angesprochen, da ein gewisses
produktionstechnisches Verstandnis fur den Entwurf notwendig ist.
Damit ist dieses Buch weniger zur Erweiterung und Vertiefung der zu
den angsprochenen Themen reichlich vorhandenen Spezialliteratur
gedacht. Vielmehr sollen die notwendigen Grundlagen sowohl des
Schaltungsentwurfs als auch der Entwurfsautomatisierung
verstandlich zusammengestellt werden, um den Leser in die Lage zu
versetzen, auf dem Gebiet des Entwurfs hochintegrierter Schaltungen
tatig zu werden und die Spezialliteratur zu verstehen. Der Leser
lernt digitale MOS-Schaltungen in verschiedenen Schaltungstechniken
auf der Schaltkreisebene verstehen und zu entwerfen. Es werden
verschiedene Entwurfsstile vorgestellt und die gelaufigen Methoden
und Algorithmen fur Layout-Erstellung detailliert beschrieben.
