A Design Approach for Digital Computer Peripheral Controllers, Case Study Design and Construction

The purpose of this project was to describe a novel design approach for a digital computer peripheral controller, then design and construct a case study controller.
This document consists of three chapters and an appendix. Chapter II presents the design approach chosen; a variation to a design presented by Charles R. Richards in an article published in Electronics magazine. Richards' approach consists of a finite state machine circuitry controlling all the functions of a controller. The variation to Richards' approach consists of considering the various logically independent processes which a controller carries out and assigning control of each process to a separate finite state machine.
The appendix contains the documentation of the design and construction of the controller.
