摘要
This work provides a canonical representation for manipulation of RTL designs. Work has already been done on a canonical and graph-based representation called Taylor Expansion Diagram (TED). Although TED can effectively be used to represent arithmetic expressions at the word-level, it is not memory efficient in representing bit-level logic expressions. In addition, TED cannot represent Boolean expressions at the word-level (vector-level). In this paper, we present modifications to TED that will improve its ability for bit-level logic representation while enhancing its robustness to represent word-level Boolean expressions. It will be shown that for bit-level logic expressions, the Enhanced TED (ETED) performs the same as the BDD representation.
