Conditional logic may be implied in normal synthesis modules.
For example a amplifier (multiplier) will potentially act as a
conditional gate or logic "and". Combined with a constant set to -1
you get a negation. A feedback loop on a S&H, combined with the
negation we just build nets you a flipflop, being a single bit of
memory.
At that point all you need is a budget, a football field and
patience with monotonous tasks. Lacking those you can ask nicely to
AMD or Intel to do it for you, that will save time, money and
especially space but they'll basically do the exact same thing for
you.
Yours,
Kas.
