Lab 5

The document describes three parts of a lab experiment involving finite state machines (FSMs): 1) Designing an FSM to recognize four consecutive 1s or 0s on an input and output a signal accordingly. 2) Designing an FSM to control a traffic light system with states for red, yellow, and green lights. 3) Designing a Morse code encoder FSM that takes a letter input and outputs the corresponding Morse code pattern using short and long pulses.

LAB 5 FINITE STATE MACHINE


Part 1:
We wish to implement a finite state machine (FSM) that recognizes two specific sequences of applied
input symbols, namely four consecutive 1s or four consecutive 0s. There is an input w and an output z.
Whenever w = 1 or w = 0 for four consecutive clock pulses, the value of z has to be 1; otherwise, z = 0.
Overlapping sequences are allowed, so that if w = 1 for five consecutive clock pulses the output z will be
equal to 1 after the fourth and fifth pulses.
Use the toggle switch SW0 on the Altera DE2 board as the input w, the LEDG0 as the output z, and the
push button KEY0 as the clock input which is applied manually. Simulate the behavior of your circuit and
then test the functionality of your design on board DE2.
Part 2.
It is often useful to be able to sequence through an arbitrary number of states, staying in each state an
arbitrary amount of time. For example, consider the set of traffic lights shown in Figure 2.1. The lights are
assumed to be at a four-way intersection with one street going north-south and the other road going east-
west.

Figure 2.1 - Six colored LEDs can represent a set of traffic lights
A set of states for controlling these traffic lights is shown in Table 2.1 and a state diagram is illustrated in
Figure 2.2. Use LEDs on board DE2 for displaying the lights Red, Green, Yellow; CLOCK_50 as input
for controlling the timing of your circuit. Write the program and test the functionality of your circuit on
board DE2.

Part 3.
In this part of the exercise you are to implement a Morse-code encoder using an FSM. The Morse code
uses patterns of short and long pulses to represent a message. Each letter is represented as a sequence of
dots (a short pulse), and dashes (a long pulse). For example, the first eight letters of the alphabet have the
following representation:

Design and implement a Morse-code encoder circuit using an FSM. Your circuit should take as input one
of the first eight letters of the alphabet and display the Morse code for it on a red LED. Use switches
SW2-0 and pushbuttons KEY1-0 as inputs. When a user presses KEY1, the circuit should display the Morse
code for a letter specified by SW2-0 (000 for A, 001 for B, etc.), using 0.5-second pulses to represent dots,
and 1.5-second pulses to represent dashes. Pushbutton KEY0 should function as an asynchronous reset.
