Finite State Machine (FSM): A Detailed Explanation


A Finite State Machine (FSM) is a mathematical and computational model used to design
systems that transition between a finite number of states based on inputs. FSMs are widely
employed in digital circuit design, control systems, software engineering, and
many other fields
Verilog code for 101 seq
module SequenceDetector(
input clk, reset, x,
output reg y
);
reg [1:0] state, next_state;
parameter S0 = 2'b00, S1 = 2'b01, S2 = 2'b10;

always @(posedge clk or posedge reset) begin


if (reset)
state <= S0;
else
state <= next_state;
end

always @(*) begin


case (state)
S0: next_state = (x == 1) ? S1 : S0;
S1: next_state = (x == 0) ? S2 : S1;
S2: next_state = (x == 1) ? S0 : S1;
default: next_state = S0;
endcase
end

always @(state) begin


y = (state == S2);
end
endmodule

Why is verification important in VLSI? Explain different types of verification


Verification is crucial in VLSI to ensure correctness, functionality, and avoid costly design
errors.

Types of Verification:

1. Functional Verification: Ensures the design behaves as intended.


2. Timing Verification: Ensures the design meets timing constraints.
3. Equivalence Checking: Verifies the RTL matches the synthesized design.
4. Coverage Analysis: Measures how well the design has been tested.
5. Formal Verification: Mathematically proves the design's correctness.
6. Power Verification: Ensures the design stays within power limits.
7. DFT (Design for Testability): Ensures testability in manufacturing.
8. DRC (Design Rule Checking): Verifies physical design meets manufacturing rules.

Types of FSM

FSMs are categorized based on how outputs are generated:

1. Mealy Machine

Output depends on the current state and the input.

Advantages:

Requires fewer states compared to Moore FSM.

Reacts faster to inputs since the output is computed during transitions.

Disadvantages:

Slightly more complex to design due to input dependency for output.

2. Moore Machine

Output depends only on the current state.

Advantages:

Simpler design since output is state-dependent.

Easier debugging and testing.

Disadvantages:

Requires more states to achieve the same functionality as Mealy FSM.


Outputs may react slower since they change only on state transitions.

Working of FSM

FSM operates by:

Starting in the initial state.

Transitioning between states based on the input and transition logic.

Producing an output (if applicable) based on the state or the transition.

Applications of FSM

FSMs are widely used in various domains:

Digital Systems:

Designing sequential circuits like counters, sequence detectors, and traffic light controllers.

Communication Protocols:

Implementing protocols like TCP/IP, UART, and I2C.

Control Systems:

State-based control of systems like elevators, vending machines, and robotic arms.

Software Development:

Designing parsers, lexical analyzers, and finite automata for regular expressions.
