Abstract
The synthesizer will automatically assign the state memory codes based on the most effective use of the target technology (e.g., binary, gray code, one-hot) in FPGA. But exists alternative, when user by himself choose type of memory encoding. There was considered user defined state coding method for Quartus Altera.

Keywords: FPGA, finite state machine, state memory, memory coding, synthesizer, one-hot, sequential, johnson, optimization, speed of performancee.
