Abstract

This work presents an optimization method for the synthesis of finite state machines. The focus is on the reduction in the on-chip area and the cost of the circuit. A list of finite state machines from MCNC91 benchmark circuits have been evolved using Cartesian Genetic Programming. On the average, almost 30% of reduction in the total number of gates has been achieved. The effects of some parameters on the evolutionary process have also been discussed in the paper.
