Abstract
Disclosed is a method of improving a synthesized circuit design comprising searching the synthesized circuit design for a first instance of a first pattern of gates. The first instance is removed from the synthesized circuit design. The first instance is replaced with a non-synthesized cell. A method of altering a multiplexer implementation comprises receiving a netlist that describes a synthesized logic circuit design. Parsing the netlist to detect a first instance of a first pattern of gates that implements a first multiplexer. The first instance is replaced in the netlist with a technology implementation of the first multiplexer.
