State assignment of finite state machines for lowpower applications
Sying-Jyan Wang, M.-D. Horng · Electronics Letters · 1996
The authors present an algorithm for the state assignment in finite state machines targeted for minimal switching power dissipation. The adjacent states are assigned codes closer in Hamming distance by our algorithm, which modifies the given state transition graph so that it can be embedded in an n-cube. Experimental results show that the switching activity obtained by the proposed method is better than the previous method.
