Abstract :
The paper presents three procedures for coding the internal states of asynchronous sequential switching circuits. Resulting codes insure that the circuit will function according to flow table specifications independent of variations in transmission delays within the circuit. The assignment methods produce codes that allow one to maximize the operating speed of the circuit and are applicable to completely or incompletely specified sequential machines.
