Abstract:
The ability to predict area-delay characteristics of designs without actually implementing them is important in producing quality designs in a reasonable time. A mathematical model for predicting the area-delay tradeoff curve for pipelined and nonpipelined data paths, given a data flow graph and a choice of module styles, is proposed. The model has been validated against designs generated by pipelined and nonpipelined data-path synthesis programs
