Abstract: The present invention provides theoretical bases and practical schematic diagrams for a state machine which is coded in HDL and synthesized to generate a circuit that comprises one or more state groups each of which has an independent clock gating device. A state group will receive a clock pulse on the next cycle when either a synchronous initialization input signal for a state machine is asserted on the current cycle or the state group will change states on the next cycle, reducing power consumption and simplifying the final logic, compared with a traditionally generated state machine circuit. In addition the invention also provides a code designer with a proposed method for HDL standard on how to divide all states in a state machine into state groups at his discretion.

Abstract: The present invention classifies all critical paths into two basic types: a series critical path and a feedback critical path, and divides each of wave-pipelined circuits into two components: a static logic part, called critical path component (CPC), and a dynamic logic part, formalized into four wave-pipelining components (WPC) shared by all wave-pipelined circuits. Each wave-pipelining ready code in HDL comprises two components: a WPC instantiation and a CPC instantiation wire-connected and linked by a new link statement. Each WPC has new wave constants which play the same role as generic constants do, but whose initial values are determined and assigned by a synthesizer after code analysis, so designers can use after-synthesization information in their code before synthesization for wave-pipelining technology.

Abstract: The present invention teaches how to code a new or existing circuit of wave-pipelining with a buffering function in HDL (Hardware Description Language). The circuit comprises at least one critical path component (CPC) and a wave-pipelined component (WPC). A WPC comprises one Data_position_shifter per CPC, an Input_register_rotator if the circuit has multiple input registers, a Combinational_logic_rotator if the circuit has multiple pieces of combinational logic and a sole output register, a buffering controller and up to three FIFOs. All critical paths provide a first storage, FIFO_1 provides a second storage for output-ready data; FIFO_2 is to store indexes of output registers if the circuit has multiple output registers; FIFO_3 is to store assistant data. Each output register has an attached output register state machine which has three states: idle state, active state and buffered state.
