Finite State Machines (FSMs) have long been a cornerstone of digital system design, and continuing advancements in logic synthesis have enabled increasingly optimised implementations. At its core, FSM ...

When designing a chip, a designer needs to consider many tradeoffs before developing the logic. For example, if a chip is being developed for mobile applications, power becomes a very important factor ...

Only the most elementary logic circuits use a single clock. Most data-movement applications, including disk-drive controllers, CDROM/DVD controllers, modems, network interfaces, and network processors ...
