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.

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, FSM ...

Finite State Machines (FSMs) serve as a foundational model for representing the behaviour of systems that transition between discrete states in response to inputs. Their applicability ranges from ...

Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...

The need for a way to execute concurrent tasks within Java has been addressed within JSE by the java.util.concurrent.Executor and in a limited fashion in JEE by the WorkManager specification.

State machines are a foundation of digital design. Eventually we all reach the point where we need to control our digital algorithm, and we almost always turn to a state machine to do the job. State ...
