This paper presents a methodology for the design of optimized electronic digital systems from high abstraction level descriptions. The methodology uses Genetic Programming in addition to high-level synthesis tools to improve the design quality (area optimization). A two-stage, multiobjective optimization algorithm was used to search for circuits with the desired functionality subjected additionally to chip area constraints. Experiment with a square-root approximation function design targeted to FPGA illustrates the methodology.
