State machines are so common that there are tools devoted to creating them by drawing circles and arts. There are simulators that will recognize your state machine ...

As design size and complexity grows, the design verification effort grows even more. It takes significant amount of time to thoroughly verify complex control logic of a design, which is the key and ...

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 ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

Designing a synchronous finite state machine (FSM) is a common task for a digital logic engineer. This paper discusses a variety of issues regarding FSM design using Verilog and VHDL coding styles.

Latest version of the state machine design solution IAR Visual State adds cross-platform support for both Windows and Linux, and enables automated generation of C, C++, C# or Java code UPPSALA, Sweden ...
