Factored form is a powerful multi-level representa- tion of a Boolean function that readily translates into an imple- mentation of the function in CMOS technology. In particular, the number of literals in a factored form correlates strongly with the number of transistors in the CMOS implementation. This paper develops novel methods for optimizing factored forms while working on the efficient and-inverter graph (AIG) representation of combinational logic. This is in contrast to the traditional logic synthesis based on logic networks, and other AIG-based methods that minimize the AIG nodes count. Experiments show that applying these methods helps to reduce the area after technology mapping by an additional 2.8% on average, compared to a high-effort area-oriented baseline. It is expected that deploying these methods as part of an industrial standard-cell design flow will reduce design costs and power consumption. Additionally, this work enables efficient transistor-level logic synthesis of large designs with various applications in design automation.
