ABSTRACT:
A micro-code sequencer apparatus (10) and method includes a state machine controller (14) and an instruction memory (24) for executing instructions and branches. The branch conditions for each state are stored in the state machine controller (14) whereas reprogrammable calculation instructions are stored in instruction memory (24). The instruction memory (24) is accessed by a program counter (20) which receives the decoded state information to determine the location of its instruction. A processor (30) processes the instruction and sends the output to a next state decoder (32) which determines the next state based on the branch conditions.
