State Machine Implemented in an EAB
This example uses FLEX 10K embedded array blocks (EABs) to implement a state machine. The top level of the design is named sseabtop.gdf, which calls the two lower-level AHDL designs counts and ss_eab.
This state machine has the following states: left(l),
left-center(lc), center(c), right-center(rc), and right(r).
The inputs left and right are active-low and send the state machine
in the corresponding direction. The outputs ledx and ledy are
outputs that depend on the state.
This function is meant to be implemented in a FLEX 10K design and uses
EABs. The current state is an input
that is fed by the output of the EAB.
The AHDL design ss_eab.tdf is the actual state machine and you must assign a logic option to it in order to implement it in an EAB. To implement the assignment:
- Select the
ss_eab symbol in the Graphic Editor and choose Logic Options (Assign menu). The Logic Options dialog box will appear.
- Choose the Individual Logic Options button.
- In the Individual Logic Options dialog box, select Implement in EAB.
- Choose OK twice.
The AHDL design counts.tdf is peripheral logic and is therefore not assigned to the EAB. Note that the state-machine has a feed-back line which must be routed back into the state machine.
