ECEN-6139 (3) Logic Synthesis of VLSI Systems

Studies synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits, including retiming transformations and don't care sequences. Gives attention to hardware description languages and their application to finite state systems. Also includes synthesis for testability and performance, algorithms for test generation, formal verification of sequential systems, and synthesis of asynchronous circuits. Recommended prereqs., ECEN 5139 and CSCI 5454.
