Functional Decomposition with Applications to FPGA Synthesis

During the last few years Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become increasingly important. Thanks to recent breakthroughs in technology, FPGAs offer millions of system gates at low cost and considerable speed. Functional decomposition has emerged as an essential technique in automatic logi...
