Abstract
A system for transitioning from a first logical state to any second logical state of a plurality of logical states includes a first circuit. The first circuit is associated with a first clock domain. The first circuit includes a first state machine. The first state machine includes a plurality of logical states. Each of the plurality of logical states is associated with a plurality of physical states. A single state element in one of the plurality of physical states associated with a first logical state is modified to transition from the first logical state to any second logical state.
