Abstract

Mechanisms are provided in a design environment for minimizing memory array representations for enhanced synthesis and verification. The design environment comprises one mechanism to compress the width of arrays using disconnected pin information. The design environment comprises another mechanism to simplify the enable conditions of array ports using “don't care” computations. The design environment comprises yet another mechanism to reduce address pins from an array through analysis of limitations of readable addresses.
