Abstract
An effective method for the synthesis of address modifiers in sequential circuits is described. The method, based on serial decomposition, substantially reduces the address modifier circuit complexity for a given microprogram memory size. It can be used effectively for PMS based designs and for full custom designs. The method was implemented in C++ on a PC. It was tested on standard finite state machine (FSM) benchmarks. Results indicate that for a wide range of cases the method gives a substantial (more than 50%) reduction of required ROM capacity, which may result in a saving of the silicon area in the actual full custom implementation.<>
