An expert system approach to parameterized module synthesis

摘要

An expert system that converts a description of transistor connectivity into a parameterized CMOS modules is presented. PAMS (parameterized module synthesis) was designed to augmented a standard cell environment by automatically generating special-purpose modules parameterized in terms of area, speed, and power dissipation. A frame-based approach facilitates the representation of specific parameterization-domain knowledge. Allowing parameterization differentiates PAMS from previous expert systems in this field.
