XBM2PLA: A Flexible Synthesis Tool for Extended Burst Mode Machines

This paper describes the results of a new synthesis tool (XBM2PLA) for asynchronous state machines [2]. XBM2PLA generates the boolean functions for an asynchronous circuit. XBM2PLA is compatible to several other tools but often generates smaller results. Moreover, XBM2PLA allows a more flexible description of asynchronous circuits than other existing tools.
