Channel-Based
FSM
•Purpose
•Implement FSM based
on channels
•State
•Stored in token in
Buffers
•Consumed every “cycle”
•New state generated
by Next State Logic
•Output
•New output token
generated in response to input
token and current state
•Copy cells needed
to route input tokens and state to
both NSL and OL.
•Buffers
•One of the buffers
must be token buffer, reflecting
initial state of FSM
