In later notes, we will use more complex building blocks when implementing an FSM, building up abstractions in order to simplify the design process in much the same way that we have shown for combinational logic. Let’s begin with a two-bit Gray code counter with no inputs.

Choice #1: binary encoding For N states, use ceil(log 2N) bits to encode the state with each state represented by a unique combination of the bits. Tradeoffs: most efficient use of state registers, but requires more complicated combinational logic to detect when in a particular state. Choice #2: “one-hot” encoding

Mar 5, 2018 · We can use a state diagram to represent the operation of a finite state machine (FSM). For example, consider the state diagram shown in Figure 1. This FSM has eight states: idle , r1 , r2, r3, r4, c, p1, and p2 .

Mars rover has a binary input x. When it receives the input sequence x(t-2, t) = 001 from its life detection sensors, it means that the it has detected life on Mars and the output y(t) = 1, otherwise y(t) = 0 (no life on Mars ). Implement the Life-on-Mars Pattern Recognizer!

Click on the diagram on the left to open the solution in the Deeds-FsM . With a click on the schematic on the right, instead, you will open the network in the Deeds-DcS to check its behavior with the timing simulation.

The nanoscale size quantum cell is a feature of QCA technology. In this paper, we propose a new QCA structure for 4-bit binary to 4-bit gray and 4-bit gray to 4-bit binary...

Given a number in GRAY code, we can convert it to Binary, increment it in Binary and then convert it back to GRAY and deposit it in the register. Compare the following two designs with the one on the previous page, state if they are right or wrong.

Gray code encoding sequentially encodes the enumerated type using sequential Gray or reflected code. Table lists a Gray code encoding example consisting of six states Similar to binary encoded state machines.

Design the synchronous FSM implementing 2-bit Gray code counter with enable as shown in the state diagram. State variables Q1, Q0 change with enable input X =1 and remain unchanged with X =0. The FSM should be constructed with D-lip-flops with positive edge triggering.

Sep 7, 2001 · Using the Moore FSM state diagram shown in Figure 2, this paper will detail synthesizable Verilog coding styles for highly-encoded binary, one-hot and one-hot with zero-idle state machines. This paper also details usage of the Synopsys FSM Tool to generate binary, gray and one-hot state machines.
