Abstract :
This paper presents a new efficient state assignment framework for synthesizing asynchronous state graphs. This framework operates purely at the state graph level and is applicable to a broad class of behaviors. In this paper we focus the framework for solving the complete state coding problem. This method has been automated and applied to a large set of asynchronous circuits. It achieves significant improvements in terms of both circuit area and computation time
