A recent EDN article dealt with a number of programming tips for embedded microcontrollers. One of those tips, using state machines, is a programming approach that is especially useful, yet probably ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
