Framework de síntese de sistemas digitais em alto nível de abstração para emprego em ferramentas CAD

Abstract

The development of digital systems requires an extreme attention by the circuit designer due to the different abstraction domains that the same system could be; therefore, the difficulty of building a circuit might be higher primarily because a schematic in a high level of abstraction has to be modeled, and just then, from the constructed component, the system can be implemented into a low level language. According to the top down methodology, this process of translating a circuit from a level of abstraction to another is called synthesis. This project brings up a framework that is able to translate schematics of digital systems built on the CAD tool Logisim, into implementations at the hardware level. The set of tests applied on 41 different circuits models have shown that the tool ellaborated works and it is effective, ensuring the desired output.
