Abstract :
This paper describes the implementation of a complex image processing algorithm for a portable printer controller ASIC. The ASIC design and development process employs Synopsys´s Behavioral Compiler as a new design methodology. This paper discusses the error diffusion image processing algorithm as an illustrative algorithm so as to better share the benefits and the difficulties when implementing such an algorithm using Behavioral Compiler
