ABSTRACT:
A method of designing and fabricating a control unit for electronic microcontrollers or microprocessors that includes fabricating a finite state machine having at least one combinatorial network, the finite state machine having a plurality of control subunits, each control subunit structured to correspond to one combinatorial logic network. Each unit in the plurality of control subunits is independently connected to an arbitration block to provide information about a possible future state and to receive a present state command.
