Automatic synthesis of VLSI control paths for high level specifications
Shun-Lin Su, Rafic Z. Makki, S.-S. Chen, S. Bou-Ghazale · 2003
A tool is presented for designing finite-state machines. The tool allows for several synthesis options which include: one-shot encoding; programmable logic arrays; and decoding and minimization. A common high-level description capability is provided for all three synthesis options. The proposed tool, called SSC (structured system control), is applied to the design of a control path for a neural net model. The advantages and disadvantages of each synthesis option are discussed.>
