StateCAD Sequence Generator Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to create a simple sequence generator using StateCAD and VHDL. It begins with a state table that defines the sequence. A state diagram is then created in StateCAD and transitions are added between states. Output logic is added to the transitions. The state diagram is generated into VHDL code. A test bench is created to simulate the design and verify it produces the correct output sequence. The state table is summarized, showing the sequence of states depends on whether input M is 0 or 1.

State Table

M=0, then
State 02130
M=1, then
State 01 0 ,
State 20, and State 30.

Check M=0 Then DOUT 0,2,1,3


(State 0,2,1,3)

Check M=1 Then DOUT 0, 1


(State 0,1)

Check M=1 Then State2 State0


and State3State0
