Abstract

A programmable cycle state machine interface to a microcontroller comprising a programmable cycle state machine, a first and second data bus, a first and second control output, and a control input for programming the cycle of the state machine. The programmable nature of the state machine allows for design and implementation changes without the need to redesign customized state machine logic on the microcontroller.
