Let’s consider a simple 4-state machine (figure 1) that is coded ‘one-hot’ (figure 2) to visualize the idea. We will use the Keep It Simple, Steel (KISS) format to abstract it from the HDL level. Each ...

One of the most common design patterns in the control logic design are finite state machines. They could be designed in different styles, state and output logic encodings, being either complex or ...

Finite State Machines (FSMs) have long been a cornerstone of digital system design, and continuing advancements in logic synthesis have enabled increasingly optimised implementations. At its core ...
