  Abstract

Along with an asynchronous finite state machine, in short AFSM, a signal transition graph, in short STG, is one of the most widely used behavioral description languages for asynchronous controllers. Unfortunately, STGs are not user-friendly, and thus it is very unwieldy and time consuming for system designers to conceive and describe manually the behaviors of a number of asynchronous controllers which constitute an asynchronous control unit for a target system in the form of STGs. In this paper, we suggest an automatic STG derivation method through a process-oriented method. Since the suggested method considers special properties of STG-based asynchronous logic synthesis very carefully, asynchronous controllers which are synthesized from STGs derived through the suggested method are superior in aspects of area, synthesis time, performance and implementability compared to those obtained through previous methods.
