Method and System for implementing a Finite State Machine (FSM) using software executed on a processor and having accurate timing information is described, where the accurate timing information is determined without the need to execute the software. An exemplary embodiment includes an IC having an embedded...http://www.google.fr/patents/US7131077?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US7131077 - Using an embedded processor to implement a finite state machine
