Abstract
This invention is a method of operating a system having multiple finite state machines where each finite state machine generating a ready signal when its operation is complete. This invention senses the multiple ready signals and waits until all the finite state machines generate the ready signal. This waiting can be accomplished with a precharge-conditional discharge circuit used for voting.
Claims2
A method of operating a system having multiple finite state machines, each finite state machine generating a ready signal when its operation is complete, comprising the steps of:
- supplying input to the multiple finite state machines;
- waiting until all the finite state machines generate the ready signal;
- and
- obtaining output from the multiple finite state machines.
