A design automation method for sequential circuits implementation by mans of PLA is discussed, and an optimal state-code assignment algorithm to minimize the PLA area is proposed. In order to design sequential circuit automatically, DASL (Design Automation Support Language) [8] which is easy to describe and powerful to synthesize, is proposed and used to describe sequential circuit, An optimal statecode assignment algorithm which considers next states and outputs simultaneously is proposed, and by adopting this algorithm to various examples, the area of PLA is reduced by 10% comparing privious methods. This system is constructed to design microinstruction, FSM, VLSI control part synthesis.
