State machines are an ideal paradigm for developing reactive systems. The most significant characteristic of these reactive systems is that they interact with their environment using sensors and ...

From a state machine perspective, this is fairly simple as shown in this diagram. The reset state (thick blue line) assumes there are no one bits, or an even number, so the output is a 1 (so that ...

Input-Driven State Machines The inputs that drive hardware state machines are bits or groups of bits. In software, groups of bits that can change are called variables. Therefore, the software state ...
