Power sequence controller programming technique

摘要

A programming technique for a programmable logic device (PLD) is disclosed wherein the programmed PLD controls a circuit's behavior according to a desired circuit behavior implementation. A user constructs a program, wherein the program comprises instructions defining inputs, outputs, and conditional branching for an abstract state sequencer that implements the desired circuit behavior. The programming technique then translates the states and resources for the abstract state sequencer into HDL source code, which in turn may be translated into a programming bit pattern for the PLD.
