ABSTRACT:
The states of a distributed finite state machine composed of a plurality of devices are coordinated by a sequence of operations to effect a self-timed cycle. Each device is arranged to apply a voltage over one or more leads and measure the current on the corresponding leads. With the methodology, while engendering self-timed cycles, the number of leads interconnecting the devices is also minimized.
