Abstract
As described in the previous chapter, scheduling assigns operations to control steps and thus converts a behavioral description into a set of register transfers that can be described by a state table. A target architecture for such a description is the FSMD given in Chapter 2. We derive the control unit for such a FSMD from the control-step sequence and the conditions used to determine the next control step in the sequence. The datapath is derived from the register transfers assigned to each control step; this task is called datapath synthesis or datapath allocation.
