Conversion of transfer function to canonical state variable modelsJyoti Singh
Realization of transfer function into state variable models is needed even if the control system design based on frequency-domain design method.
In these cases the need arises for the purpose of transient response simulation.
But there is not much software for the numerical inversion of Laplace transform.
So one ways is to convert transfer function of the system to state variable description and numerically integrating the resulting differential equations rather than attempting to compute the inverse Laplace transform by numerical method.

state space modeling of electrical systemMirza Baig
Introduction
As systems become more complex, representing them with differential equations or transfer functions becomes cumbersome. This is even more true if the system has multiple inputs and outputs. This document introduces the state space method which largely alleviates this problem. The state space representation of a system replaces an nth order differential equation with a single first order matrix differential equation. The state space representation of a system is given by two equations :
The first equation is called the state equation, the second equation is called the output equation. For an nth order system (i.e., it can be represented by an nth order differential equation) with r inputs and m outputs the size of each of the matrices is as follows:
Several features:The state equation has a single first order derivative of the state vector on the left, and the state vector, q(t), and the input u(t) on the right. There are no derivatives on the right hand side.The output equation has the output on the left, and the state vector, q(t), and the input u(t) on the right. There are no derivatives on the right hand side.
q is nx1 (n rows by 1 column)q is called the state vector, it is a function of timeA is nxn; A is the state matrix, a constantB is nxr; B is the input matrix, a constant u is rx1; u is the input, a function of time C is mxn; C is the output matrix, a constant D is mxr; D is the direct transition matrix, a constant y is mx1; y is the output, a function of time
Derivation of of State Space Model (Electrical)
To develop a state space system for an electrical system, they choosing the voltage across capacitors, and current through inductors as state variables. Recall that
so if we can write equations for the voltage across an inductor, it becomes a state equation when we divide by the inductance (i.e., if we have an equation for einductor and divide by L, it becomes an equation for diinductor/dt which is one of our state variable). Likewise if we can write an equation for the current through the capacitor and divide by the capacitance it becomes a state equation for ecapacitor
There are three energy storage elements, so we expect three state equations. Try choosing i1, i2 and e1 as state variables. Now we want equations for their derivatives. The voltage across the inductor L2 is e1 (which is one of our state variables)so our first state variable equation is
This equation has our input (ia) and two state variable (iL2 and iL1) and the current through the capacitor. So from this we can get our second state equation
Our third, and final, state equation we get by writing an equation for the voltage across L1 (which is e2) in terms of our other state variables

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

UNIT II : SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT DESIGN
Introduction: The various stages involved in the design of
sequential circuits include, the
derivation of state tables, state table reduction , state assignment , and derivation of flip-flop
input equations.
The state table is derived by determining the relationship between the input and output
sequences or sometimes
can be derived directly from the state graph also. After deriving the
state table ,it is reduced to a minimum number of states. First, duplicate rows are eliminated
by row matching method and, then using an implication table.
If the reduced table has m states (2n–1 < m ≤ 2n), n flip-flops are required. Assign a unique
combination of flip-flop states to correspond to each state in the reduced table.
Form the transition table by substituting the assigned flip-flop states for each state in the reduced
state table. The resulting transition table specifies the next states of the flip-flops, and the output
in terms of the present states of the flip-flops and the input.
Plot next-state maps and input maps for each flip-flop and derive the flip-flop input equations.
(Depending on the type of gates to be used, either determine the sum-of-products form from the
1’s on the map or the product-of-sums form from the 0’s on the map.) Derive the output
functions.
Realize the flip-flop input equations and the output equations using the available logic gates.
Check the design by signal tracing, computer simulation, or laboratory testing.
Design of Iterative Circuits :
An iterative circuit consists of a number of identical cells interconnected in a regular manner.
Certain arithmetic operations, like binary addition are implemented with an iterative circuit
because the same operation is performed on each pair of input bits. The regular structure of an
iterative circuit makes it easier to fabricate in integrated circuit form than circuits with less
regular structures.
The simplest form of an iterative circuit consists of a linear array of combinational cells with
signals between cells traveling in only one direction.Each cell is a combinational circuit with one
or more primary inputs (xi) and possibly one or more primary outputs (zi). In addition, each cell
1
2. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
has one or more secondary inputs (ai) and one or more secondary outputs (ai +1). The ai signals
carry information about the “state” of one cell to the next cell as shown in the figure (i) below.
The primary inputs to the cells (x1, x2, . . . , xn) are applied in parallel i.e , they are all applied at
the same time. The ai signals then propagate along the line of cells. Because the circuit is
combinational, the time required for the circuit to reach a steady state condition is determined
only by the delay times of the gates in the cells. As soon as steady state is reached, the outputs
may be read. Thus, the iterative circuit can function as a parallel-input, parallel-output device, in
contrast with the sequential circuit in which the input and output are serial.
One can think of the iterative circuit as receiving its inputs as a sequence in space in contrast
with the sequential circuit which receives its inputs as a sequence in time. The parallel adder of is
an example of an iterative circuit that has four identical cells. The serial adder uses the same full
adder cell as the parallel adder, but it receives its inputs serially and stores the carry in a flip-flop
instead of propagating it from cell to cell.
An Example - Design of a Comparator :
A comparator circuit compares two n-bit binary numbers and determines whether they are equal
or which one is larger if they are not equal. As ,it is not practically possible to design a 2n input
combinational circuit for n larger than 4 or 5 , so the iterative approach is used.Let the two
binary numbers to be compared be
X = x1x2x3 . . . …….. …. xn
and
Y = y1y2 . ……………. . yn
here x1 is the most significant and comparison is made from left to right.
The iterative circuit is as shown in below diagram. The Comparison proceeds from left to right.
The first cell compares x1 and y1 and passes on the result of the comparison to the next cell, the
second cell compares x2 and y2, etc. Finally, xn and yn are compared by the last cell, and the
output circuit produces signals to indicate if X = Y ,
X > Y, or
X < Y.
2
3. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
Let us consider the design of a typical cell for the comparator. To the left of cell i, three
conditions are possible .They are
X = Y so far (x1 x2 . . . xi–1 = y1y2 . . . yi–1),
X > Y , and
X < Y so far.
Let us indicate these three input conditions as states S0, S1, and S2, respectively. The table (i)
shows the output state at the right of the cell (Si+1) in terms of the xiyi inputs and the input state
at the left of the cell (Si). If the numbers are equal to the left of cell i and xi = yi, the numbers
are still equal including cell i, so Si+1 = S0.However, if Si = S0 and xi yi = 10, then x1x2 . . . xi >
y1y2 . . . yi and Si+1 = S1. If X > Y to the left of cell i, then regardless of the values of xi and yi,
x1x2 . . . xi > y1y2 . . . yi and Si+1 = S1. Similarly, if X < Y to the left of cell i, then X < Y
including the inputs to cell i, and Si+1 = S2.
The logic for a typical cell is derived from the state table. Because there are three states, two
inter cell signals are required. The state assignment aibi = 00 for S0, 01 for S1, and 10 for S2.
Substituting this assignment into the state table gives the table (ii) below. Figure (ii) below
shows the Karnaugh maps, next-state equations, and the realization of a typical cell using NAND
gates. Inverters are to be included in the cell because only ai and bi and not their complements
are transmitted between cells.

yayavaram@yahoo.com
The a1b1 inputs to the left end cell must be 00 because it is assumed that the numbers are equal
(all 0) to the left of the most significant bit. The equations for the first cell can then be simplified
if needed.
a2 = a1 + x1′y1b1′ = x1′y1
b2 = b1 + x1y1′ a1′ = x1y1′

For the output circuit, let Z1 = 1 if X < Y, Z2 = 1 if X = Y, Z3 = 1 if X > Y. Figure below shows
the output maps, equations, and circuit.
This is the design example of an iterative circuit which compares two binary numbers.
Design of Sequential Circuits Using ROMs – Code Converter :
A sequential circuit can easily be designed using a ROM (read-only memory) and flip-flops. If
we consider any general model of a Mealy sequential circuit , the combinational part of the
5
6. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
sequential circuit is realized using a ROM. The ROM is used to realize the output functions (Z1,
Z2, . . . , Zn) and the next-state functions (Q+1 , Q+2 , . . . , Q+k ). The state of the circuit can
then be stored in a register of D flip-flops and fed back to the input of the ROM. Thus, a Mealy
sequential circuit with m inputs, n outputs, and k state variables can be realized using k D flipflops and a ROM with m + k inputs (2m+k words) and n + k outputs. The Moore sequential
circuit
can also be realized in a similar manner. The next-state and output combinational
subcircuits of the Moore circuit can be realized using two ROMs. Alternatively, a single ROM
can be used to realize both the next state and output functions. Generally in sequential circuit
design , D flip-flops are preferred to J-K flip-flops because use of two-input flip-flops would
require increasing the number of outputs from the ROM.
Let us consider the design of a code converter using ROM and D flip-flops. The state table
for the
code converter are shown in the tables (i) below.
As there are seven states, three D flip-flops are required. Thus, a ROM with four inputs (24
words) and four outputs is required, as shown in figure (i). Using a straight binary state
assignment, the transition table is constructed as shown in table (ii).This table gives the next
state of the flip-flops as a function of the present state and input. As, D-Flip-Flops are used in the
design , D1 = Q1+ , D2 = Q2+ , and D3 = Q3+ .
6
7. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
The truth table for the ROM, shown in table(iii), is constructed from the transition table. This
table gives the ROM outputs (Z, D1, D2, and D3) as functions of the ROM inputs (X, Q1, Q2,
and Q3).
Design of Sequential Circuits Using PLAs – Code Converter
Sequential circuits can also be realized using PLAs (programmable logic arrays) and flip-flops in
a manner similar to using ROMs and flip-flops. But, in the case of PLAs, the state assignment
may be important because the use of a good state assignment can reduce the required number of
product terms and, hence, reduce the required size of the PLA.
As an example let us consider the design of a code-converter.The state table shown above in
Table(i)can be realized by using one PLA and three Flip-Flops as shown in figure (i) below.This
circuit configuration is very similar to ROM based design ,except that ROM is replaced by the
PLA of suitable size.The state assignment leads to the truth table given in table below. This
7
9. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
If the state assignment of the code converter is considered , the resulting output equation and
D flip-flop input equations, derived from the Karnaugh can be written the following equations
D1 = Q1+ = Q2′
D2 = Q2+ = Q1
D3 = Q3+ = Q1Q2Q3 + X’Q1 Q3′ + XQ1′ Q2′
Z = X′Q3′ + XQ3
The PLA table which corresponds to these equations is given in table above . This table can be
realized by using a PLA with four inputs, seven product terms, and four outputs.
9
10. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
To verify the operation of the above design initially, assume that X = 0 and Q1Q2Q3 = 000.This
selects rows --0- and 0--0 in the table, so Z = 1 and D1D2D3 = 100. After the active clock edge,
Q1Q2Q3 = 100. If the next input is X = 1, then rows --0- and -1--are selected, so Z = 0 and
D1D2D3 = 110. After the active clock edge, Q1Q2Q3 = 110.
Design of Sequential Circuits Using CPLDs :
A typical CPLD contains a number of macro-cells that are grouped into function blocks.
Connections between the function blocks are made through an interconnection array. Each
macro-cell contains a flip-flop and an OR gate, which has its inputs connected to an AND gate
array. Some CPLDs are based on PALs, in which case each OR gate has a fixed set of AND
gates associated with it. Other CPLDs are based on PLAs, in which case any AND gate output
within a function block can be connected to any OR gate input in that block. Figure below
shows the structure of a Xilinx Cool Runner II CPLD, which uses a
PLA in each function block. This CPLD family is available in sizes from two to 32 function
blocks (32 to 512 macro-cells). Each function block has 16 inputs from the AIM (advanced
interconnection matrix) and up to 40 outputs to the AIM. Each function block PLA contains the
equivalent of 56 AND gates.
Let us consider the implementation of a Mealy Machine using the CPLD.The figure (i) below
shows how a Mealy sequential machine with two inputs, two outputs, and two flip-flops can be
implemented by a CPLD.
10
11. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
Here four macro-cells are required, two to generate the D inputs to the flip-flops and two to
generate the Z outputs. The flip-flop outputs are fed back to the AND array inputs via the
interconnection matrix . The number of product terms required depends on the complexity of the
equations for the D’s and the Z’s.
Implementation of a Parallel Adder: The figure below shows how three bits of the parallel
adder with accumulator of can be implemented using a CPLD. Each bit of the adder requires
two macro-cells. One of the macro-cells implements the sum function and an accumulator flipflop. The other macro-cell implements the carry, which is fed back into the AND array. The Ad
signal can be connected to the CE input of each flip-flop via an AND gate . Each bit of the adder
requires eight product terms (four for the sum, three for the carry, and one for CE). If the flipflops are programmed as T flip-flops, then the logic for the sum can be simplified.
For each accumulator flip-flop
Then, the T input is
Xi+
=
Xi ⊕ Yi ⊕ Ci
Ti = Xi + ⊕ Xi = Yi ⊕ Ci which requires only two product terms.
The add signal can be ANDed with the Ti input so that the flip-flop state can change only when
Ad = 1 .The resultant T input is given by the following equation.
Ti = Ad (Yi ⊕ Ci) = Ad Yi Ci′+ Ad Yi’Ci
This explains the implementation of 3-bit parallel adder using a CPLD.

Design of Sequential Circuits Using FPGAs :
An FPGA consists of an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) surrounded by a ring of I/O
blocks. The FPGA may also contain other components such as memory blocks, clock generators,
tri-state buffers, etc. A typical CLB contains two or more function generators, often referred to as
look-up tables or LUTs, programmable multiplexers, and D-CE flip-flops.The I/O blocks usually
contain additional flip-flops for storing inputs or outputs and tri-state buffers for driving the I/O
pins.
Let us consider the implementation of a Mealy sequential machine which has two inputs, two
outputs, and two flip-flops by using a FPGA .For this implementation four LUTs ( FGs or
function generators) are required, two to generate the D inputs to the flip-flops and two to
generate the Z outputs. The flip-flop outputs are fed back to the CLB inputs via interconnections
external to the CLB. The entire circuit fits into one CLB. This implementation works well
because each D and Z is a function of only four variables (X1, X2, Q1, and Q2). If more flipflops or inputs are needed, the D or Z functions may have to be decomposed to use additional
function generators .
The implementation of a Mealy Machine based on FPGA device using two flip-flops and four
Function generators is shown in the above figure.

FPGA Implementation of a Shift Register :
Let us now consider the direct implementation of a shift register using an FPGA. The figure
below shows how the 4-bit loadable right-shift register can be implemented using an FPGA.
Four LUTs are used to generate the D inputs to the flip-flops, and a fifth LUT generates the CE
input
.
Implementation of 3-bit parallel Adder: The figure below shows
how three bits of the
parallel adder with accumulator can be implemented using an FPGA. Each bit of the adder can
be implemented with two 3-variable function generators, one for the sum and one for the carry.
The Ad signal is connected to the CE input of each flip-flop so that the sum is loaded by the
rising clock edge when Ad = 1. The arrangement for generating the carries, is rather slow
13
14. Dr.Y.Narasimha Murthy., Ph.D
yayavaram@yahoo.com
because the carry signal must propagate through a function generator and its external
interconnections for each bit. Because adders are frequently used in FPGAs, most FPGAs have
built-in fast carry logic in addition to the function generators. If the fast carry logic is used, the
bottom row of function generators of the figure above is not needed, and a parallel adder with an
accumulator can be implemented using only one function generator for each bit.
