Abstract:The paper presents a new efficient algorithm for the state encoding of finite-state machines which minimises the area of the combinational logic. The encoding problem is modelled as a construction of a hypercube, where the encoding of each state is given by the co-ordinate of the corresponding vertex of the D-dimensional Boolean hypercube and D is rlog,(number of states)]. The proposed state encoding scheme consists of computing the encoding affinities between states and placing states with strong encoding aff… Show more
