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 ...

In today's dynamic technological landscape, the necessity for dependable and resilient systems cannot be overstated. Whether it's life-saving medical equipment, intricate financial systems or ...

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 ...

In other cases, the state machine may be sufficiently complex that we must take explicitly targeted steps to effectively exercise the state machine. In this paper, we will see how inFact’s systematic ...

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 ...

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 opposed to conditional flag-centric code, a state machine diagram presents a very clear view of the design, and so provides a good example to students. As opposed to conditional flag-centric code, ...
