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 ...

Similarly, even in the case of a very linear and sequential state machine, it may be productive to partition the design into a number of smaller submachines. Apart from anything else, this strategy ...

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 ...

The interest in state machines started in the 1950s when George Moore and Edward Mealy published seminal papers on formal methods of designing digital circuits, which generate outputs based on the ...

[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 ...
