In this paper we deal with the problem of the finite states machine's (FSM) state assignment. CMOSbased digital circuits dissipate a power only during a transition at the output. Therefore one of the methods of the power minimization is to reassign the FSM states. We discuss the methods such as column-based and annealing-based as well as propose the new method called sequential method. Experimental results showed that the proposed method is approximately 10% better than the other discussed algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
