Abstract

A controller structure template (60) and method (10) of using the controller structure template (60) for designing a controller structure is provided. The method includes providing (11) a behavioral specification, scheduling, allocating, and binding the behavioral specification (12), dividing (13) the list of statements into statement blocks, clustering (14) the list of statements from each statement block, mapping (15) each statement block into a control block, and mapping (17) each cluster into a control element. The steps of mapping (15 and 17) are performed using a controller structure template (60), which includes a control element template (62), merging logic circuit (63), detection circuit (64), branching logic (67).
