Transition Based Synthesis with Modular Encoding of Petri Nets into FPGAs

Abstract

The paper describes a new method for the synthesis of the application specific logic controllers, targeted into the FPGA. The initial steps of the proposed control algorithm rely on the notion of a Petri net, which is an easy way to describe parallel processes. The algorithm is oriented on transition based logic description. It allows easy analysis of dynamics and functioning of the circuit.

The logic circuit is also decomposed into logic blocks responsible for particular functions. It leads to the compact implementation with usage of different kind of logic elements like. Additionally such decomposition allows easy analysis of circuit.
