Datapath vs. Controller 4
Structure of a Typical Digital System Data Inputs Datapath (Execution Unit) Control & Status Inputs Control Signals Controller (Control Unit) Status Signals Data Outputs Control & Status Outputs 5
Datapath (Execution Unit) • Manipulates and processes data • Performs arithmetic and logic operations, shifting/rotating, and other data-processing tasks • Is composed of registers, multiplexers, adders, decoders, comparators, ALUs, gates, etc. • Provides all necessary resources and interconnects among them to perform specified task • Interprets control signals from the Controller and generates status signals for the Controller 6
Controller (Control Unit) • Controls data movement in the Datapath by switching multiplexers and enabling or disabling resources Example: enable signals for registers Example: select signals for muxes • Provides signals to activate various processing tasks in the Datapath • Determines the sequence of operations performed by the Datapath • Follows Some ‘Program’ or Schedule 7
Finite State Machines • Controllers can be described as Finite State Machines (FSMs) • Finite State Machines can be represented using • State Diagrams and State Tables - suitable for simple controllers with a relatively few inputs and outputs • Algorithmic State Machine (ASM) Charts suitable for complex controllers with a large number of inputs and outputs • All of these descriptions can be easily translated to the corresponding synthesizable VHDL code 8

Finite State Machines Refresher 12
Finite State Machines (FSMs) • An FSM is used to model a system that transits among a finite number of internal states. The transitions depend on the current state and external input. • The main application of an FSM is to act as the controller of a medium to large digital system • Design of FSMs involves • Defining states • Defining next state and output functions • Optimization / minimization • Manual optimization/minimization is practical for small FSMs only 13
Moore FSM • output is a function of the state only next-state logic input state_next clk reset state register state_reg output logic output 14
Mealy FSM • output is a function of the state and input signals next-state logic input state_next clk reset state register state_reg output logic output 15

Moore FSM - Example 1 • Moore FSM that Recognizes Sequence “ 10” 0 1 S 0 / 0 1 reset Meaning of states: S 0: No elements of the sequence observed 0 S 1 / 0 0 S 1: “ 1” observed 1 S 2 / 1 S 2: “ 10” observed 19
Mealy FSM - Example 1 • Mealy FSM that Recognizes Sequence “ 10” 0/0 1/0 S 0 reset Meaning of states: 1/0 S 1 0/1 S 0: No elements of the sequence observed S 1: “ 1” observed 20
Algorithmic State Machine (ASM) Charts 21
Algorithmic State Machine – representation of a Finite State Machine suitable for FSMs with a larger number of inputs and outputs compared to FSMs expressed using state diagrams and state tables. 22
ASM Chart – Flowchart-like diagram – Provides the same info as a state diagram – More descriptive, better for complex description 23
ASM describing generalized FSM • Algorithmic state machines can model both Mealy and Moore Finite State Machines • They can also model generalized machines that are of the mixed type 24
Elements used in ASM charts (1) State name Output signals or actions (Moore type) 0 (False) (a) State box Condition expression 1 (True) (b) Decision box Conditional outputs or actions (Mealy type) (c) Conditional output box 25
State Box • State box – represents a state. • Equivalent to a node in a state diagram or a row in a state table. • Contains register transfer actions or output signals • Moore-type outputs are listed inside of the box. • It is customary to write only the name of the signal that has to be asserted in the given state, e. g. , z instead of z<=1. • Also, it might be useful to write an action to be taken, e. g. , count <= count + 1, and only later translate it to asserting a control signal that causes a given action to take place (e. g. , enable signal of a counter). State name Output signals or actions (Moore type) 26
Decision Box • Decision box – indicates that a given condition is to be tested and the exit path is to be chosen accordingly. The condition expression may include one or more inputs to the FSM. 0 (False) Condition expression 1 (True) 27
Conditional Output Box • Conditional output box • Denotes output signals that are of the Mealy type. • The condition that determines whether such outputs are generated is specified in the decision box. Conditional outputs or actions (Mealy type) 28
Simple Example: Datapath 0 m eni en ld ldi clk m i == k-1 zi 29
Simple Example: Interface 30
Simple Example: ASM Chart 31
ASM Block • One state box • One or more (optional) decision boxes: with T (1) or F (0) exit paths • One or more (optional) conditional output boxes: for Mealy outputs 32
ASM Chart Rules • Difference between a regular flowchart and an ASM chart: – Transition governed by clock – Transition occurs between ASM blocks • Basic rules: – For a given input combination, there is one unique exit path from the current ASM block – Any closed loop in an ASM chart must include a state box Based on RTL Hardware Design by P. Chu 33

Moore & Mealy FSMs with delays clock 0 1 0 0 0 input state S 0 Moore output S 0 S 1 S 2 S 0 state S 0 S 1 S 0 S 0 Mealy output 41
Moore vs. Mealy FSM (1) • Moore and Mealy FSMs Can Be Functionally Equivalent • Equivalent Mealy FSM can be derived from Moore FSM and vice versa • Mealy FSM Has Richer Description and Usually Requires Smaller Number of States • Smaller circuit area 42
Moore vs. Mealy FSM (2) • Mealy FSM Computes Outputs as soon as Inputs Change • Mealy FSM responds one clock cycle sooner than equivalent Moore FSM • Moore FSM Has No Combinational Path Between Inputs and Outputs • Moore FSM is less likely to affect the critical path of the entire circuit 43
Moore FSM • output is a function of the state only next-state logic input state_next clk reset state register state_reg output logic output 44
Mealy FSM • output is a function of the state and input signals next-state logic input state_next clk reset state register state_reg output logic output 45
Which Way to Go? Mealy FSM Moore FSM Fewer states Lower Area Safer. Less likely to affect the critical path. Responds one clock cycle earlier 46
ASMs representing simple FSMs • Algorithmic state machines can model both Mealy and Moore Finite State Machines • They can also model machines that are of the mixed type 47
