Abstract

This paper describes BSDL(Behavioral/Structural Description Language), CDTF(Control Data Text File) and state synthesizer built for use in ICSC(InCheon Silicon Compiler). BSDL describes structral and behaviral specifications of an ASIC(Application Specific IC) for digital system design. ICSC's paser generates CDTF consists of if-then-else, arithmetic and data transfer statement according to each BSDL statement. State synthesizer generates CCG(Control Constraint Graph) in consideration of execution of statement and generates VCG (Variable Constraint Graph) in consideration use of variable generation and use of variable. Also, it involves allocating algorithm operation nodes in the data path and the control path to machine states with minimum state number and as small area as possible.
