FPGAs: World Class Designs

Chapter 5. Introduction to Synchronous State Machine Design and Analysis

This chapter comes from the book Electrical Engineering Design by Richard Tinder, ISBN: 9780126912951. This text emphasizes the successful engineering design of digital devices and machines from first principles. A special effort has been made not to “throw” logic circuits at the reader so that questions remain as to how the circuits came about or whether or not they will function correctly.From an engineering point of view, the design of a digital device or machine is of little or no value unless it performs the intended operation(s) correctly and reliably. Both the basics and background fundamentals are presented in this text. But it goes well beyond the basics to provide ...
