Abstract :
Our previous work focused on the synthesis of sequential circuits based on a partial input/output sequence. As the behavioural description of the target circuit is not known the correctness of the result can not be verified. This paper proposes a method which increases the correctness percentage of the finite-state machine (FSM) synthesis using multiple partial input/output sequences. The synthesizer is based on genetic algorithm. The experimental results show that the correctness percentage can be increased to 100% by increasing the number of input/output sequences
