Electronic Design Automation

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

4 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Electronic Design Automation.

  • EDA database — A specialized design database representing electronic-circuit objects, geometry, connectivity, hierarchy and constraints for interoperating automation tools.
  • Flow to HDL — A hardware-design translation workflow that compiles a flow-based or dataflow system model into synthesizable hardware-description-language structure.
  • Gajski–Kuhn chart — A Y-shaped framework organizing hardware-system representations across behavioral, structural, and physical domains and across successive abstraction levels.
  • Logic optimization — Transformation of a digital logic network into a functionally equivalent representation that better satisfies area, delay, power or implementation constraints.
