Abstract :
A new realization scheme is proposed for implementing sequential machines with nontrivial periods. The scheme is primarily based on state assignments related to cyclic partitions on internal states of a sequential machine. Operational linkages of cyclic partitions to the input-independent autonomous clocks of sequential machines are established. Special logic design and IC implementation advantages of the scheme are demonstrated in terms of input and/or state dependencies, logic complexities, and memory requirements of sequential machines.
