Creating a sequential state machine is a common approach for automatic-control design. The method finds wide use for controlling sequential processes in industry, robotics, and measuring. The concept ...

Corrective control of asynchronous sequential machines (ASMs) represents a critical advancement in the design and operation of digital systems where state transitions occur without synchronous timing.

This installment starts a new segment of lessons about state machines. The subject conceptually continues the event-driven theme and is one of my favorites [1,2]. Today, you’ll learn what event-driven ...

[Tony] has developed a method of using a state machine to validate keypad inputs. His method checks the commands character by character as they are entered in by a 16 button keypad. State machines are ...

Systems on chip (SoC) and processor design teams are challenged to meet aggressive power, performance and area requirements. As chip complexity grows, teams must verify thousands of lines of code to ...
