A Study on Code Assignment to Microinstructions

We have developed a program that minimizes the chip area with effective code assignment of microinstructions when the control part of VLSI system is implemented in the PLA. While conventional algorithms are composed of one pass, the algorithm proposed in this paper is composed of two passes and it consists of three principal procedures: a procedure for the determination of the code assignment order, a procedure for the code assignment and a procedure for the reduction of the code length. especially, we have proposed a new method of folding back for the reduction of the code length. We have obtained the result of 4 bit code length and 9 product terms when 11 micro-instructions and 6 microoperations were given as a inputs. Therefore, we have certified that it could be used efficiently for the control part of the processors.
