Abstract

A methodology for automatic synthesis of microprograms for digital systems modelled in the uahpl register-transfer-level language is described. The algorithms used in the process of translation from uahpl description to microprograms are also discussed. Since the uahpl model is directly related to hardware, this approach is better than those based on ordinary high-level languages or special microprogram languages. A simple example of microprogramming for an 8085-based target system is given.
