Toward Efficient Synthesis Method of Multifunctional Logic Circuits

The continuous effort how to achieve space-efficient implementation of a digital circuits may soon arrive at the physical limits behind the scaling of fundamental building components. One possible response to this problem can be recognized in adoption of so called multifunctional logic, which also comes with the intrinsically embedded reconfiguration features. Polymorphic electronics concept with its substantial technological independence opens a way to fulfil this objective through the adoption of emerging semiconductor technologies and advanced synthesis methods. This paper is dealing with a proposal of a novel synthesis method oriented on the exploitation of polymorphic electronics principles. Key part of it is based on Boolean divisor identification and function kernelling technique. Proposed method is evaluated with several test circuits.
