State Assignment Algorithms

The methods of state assignment are presented in this chapter. The methods strive to find the optimum fit for a FSM to the structure of CPLD. The state assignment process includes techniques of two-level minimization and the limited number of terms contained in the cell. First, the method aimed at area optimization is presented. As a next, the method of state assignment for speed maximization is introduced. Finally, the method of state assignment by means of outputs with necessary theory is presented.
