8. Apply State Machines in Digital Circuit Design

State Machines, particularly Finite State Machines (FSMs), are essential digital logic models that illustrate system behavior driven by inputs and past events. The chapter outlines types of state machines, the components necessary for their implementation, and a defined design flow for creating FSMs. It highlights real-world applications and emphasizes the use of flip-flops and combinational logic for memory and transitions, respectively.
