The Influence of Functional Decomposition on Modern Digital Design Process

  • Chapter

Abstract

General functional decomposition has been gaining more and more importance in recent years. Though it is mainly perceived as a method of logic synthesis for the implementation of Boolean functions into FPGA-based architectures, it has found applications in many other fields of modern engineering and science. In this paper, an application of balanced functional decomposition in different tasks of modern digital designing is presented. The experimental results prove that functional decomposition as a method of synthesis can help implementing circuits in CPLD/FPGA architectures. It can also be efficiently used as a method for implementing FSMs in FPGAs with Embedded ROM Memory Blocks.
