ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods for designing circuits using graphical representations of control and data flow paths. Such representations afford a circuit designer an opportunity early in the design phase to view the data flow and control flow of a proposed circuit layout. Further, such representations are relatively easy to automatically scan, analyze and reduce into a set of logical notations suitable for input to known, standard logic synthesizers.
