Titre français : Abstraction Fonctionnelle des Composants VLSI
Titre anglais : Functional Abstraction of VLSI Components
Abstract : Method to deduce the data flow behavior from any VLSI electronic component considered at the transistor netlist level. The transistor netlist can itself be deduced from a diffusion mask level description. The method is based upon a structural pattern recognition approach. An abstraction engine is driven by external abstraction rules whose format is analog to production rules. Rules contain models of the circuits to be recognized. This method allows a precise recognition of any kind of electronic circuit, and both Vhdl and Verilog behaviors can be deduced, whatever the CMos, NMos, Bipolaire, BiCMos technology used. This method can be used in verification or in technology migration flows, and has been proved efficient on several real industrial designs.
Key-words : abstraction, VLSI electronic component, verification, technology migration, VHDL, Verilog, reverse engineering
