Timing of State Machines When are inputs sampled, next state computed, outputs asserted? State Time: Time between clocking events • Clocking event causes state/outputs to transition, based on inputs • For set-up/hold time considerations: Inputs should be stable before clocking event • After propagation delay, Next State entered, Outputs are stable NOTE: Asynchronous signals take effect immediately Synchronous signals take effect at the next clocking event E.g., tri-state enable: effective immediately sync. counter clear: effective at next clock event ECE C03 Lecture 12
Timing of State Machine State T ime Example: Positive Edge Triggered Synchronous System On rising edge, inputs sampled outputs, next state computed After propagation delay, outputs and next state are stable Immediate Outputs: affect datapath immediately could cause inputs from datapath to change Delayed Outputs: take effect on next clock edge propagation delays must exceed hold times Clock Inputs Outputs ECE C03 Lecture 12

Alternative State Machine Representations Why State Diagrams Are Not Enough Not flexible enough for describing very complex finite state machines Not suitable for gradual refinement of finite state machine Do not obviously describe an algorithm: that is, well specified sequence of actions based on input data algorithm = sequencing + data manipulation separation of control and data Gradual shift towards program-like representations: • Algorithmic State Machine (ASM) Notation • Hardware Description Languages (e.g., VHDL) ECE C03 Lecture 12

Finite State Machine Word Problems Mapping English Language Description to Formal Specifications Case Studies: • Finite String Pattern Recognizer • • Traffic Light Controller We will use state diagrams and ASM Charts ECE C03 Lecture 12
Finite String Pattern Recognizer A finite string recognizer has one input (X) and one output (Z). The output is asserted whenever the input sequence …010… has been observed, as long as the sequence 100 has never been seen. Step 1. Understanding the problem statement Sample input/output behavior: X: 00101010010… Z: 00010101000… X: 11011010010… Z: 00000001000… ECE C03 Lecture 12
Finite String Recognizer Step 2. Draw State Diagrams/ASM Charts for the strings that must be recognized. I.e., 010 and 100. Reset S0 [0] Moore State Diagram Reset signal places FSM in S0 S4 S1 [0] [0] S2 S5 [0] [0] S3 S6 Loops in State Outputs 1 [1] [0] ECE C03 Lecture 12
Finite String Recognizer Exit conditions from state S3: have recognized …010 if next input is 0 then have …0100! if next input is 1 then have …0101 = …01 (state S2) Reset S0 [0] S4 S1 [0] [0] S2 S5 [0] [0] S3 S6 [1] [0] ECE C03 Lecture 12
Finite String Recognizer Exit conditions from S1: recognizes strings of form …0 (no 1 seen) loop back to S1 if input is 0 Exit conditions from S4: recognizes strings of form …1 (no 0 seen) loop back to S4 if input is 1 Reset S0 [0] S4 S1 [0] [0] S2 S5 [0] [0] S3 S6 [1] [0] ECE C03 Lecture 12
Finite String Recognizer Reset S0 [0] S4 S1 [0] [0] S2 S5 [0] [0] S3 S6 [1] [0] S2, S5 with incomplete transitions S2 = …01; If next input is 1, then string could be prefix of (01)1(00) S4 handles just this case! S5 = …10; If next input is 1, then string could be prefix of (10)1(0) S2 handles just this case! Final State Diagram ECE C03 Lecture 12
Review of Design Process • Write down sample inputs and outputs to understand specification • Write down sequences of states and transitions for the sequences to be recognized • Add missing transitions; reuse states as much as possible • Verify I/O behavior of your state diagram to insure it functions like the specification ECE C03 Lecture 12
Traffic Light Controller A busy highway is intersected by a little used farmroad. Detectors C sense the presence of cars waiting on the farmroad. With no car on farmroad, light remain green in highway direction. If vehicle on farmroad, highway lights go from Green to Yellow to Red, allowing the farmroad lights to become green. These stay green only as long as a farmroad car is detected but never longer than a set interval. When these are met, farm lights transition from Green to Yellow to Red, allowing highway to return to green. Even if farmroad vehicles are waiting, highway gets at least a set interval as green. Assume you have an interval timer that generates a short time pulse (TS) and a long time pulse (TL) in response to a set (ST) signal. TS is to be used for timing yellow lights and TL for green lights. ECE C03 Lecture 12
