    Diminishing power dissipation by FSM state assignment

    No full text
    Power dissipation is becoming a critical parameter in system design. This paper concerns the low power design of synchronous FSM and the power estimation with regard to a given input sequence. For that we suggest a novel and practical approach for state assignment by means of which the average rate of register switching is reduced. The resulting code determines the register configuration and acts upon size and structure on the combinational circuit. For the evaluation of the approach we adapt a simulative power estimation procedure. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach especially in comparison with estimations based on probabilistic models.
