A Sequential Circuit for Algebraic Statement Translation

Abstract
One component of a computer for direct execution of an algebraic language is a circuit which translates algebraic statements into control signals to activate appropriate data access, storage and arithmetic cycles. The state diagram for a simplified version of such a circuit is given and explained. A modification of the Mealy sequential circuit model is utilized to develop a circuit design technique which is simple to use even for circuits with large numbers of states. This technique is demonstrated by design of the algebraic translator circuit, which has 11 states, 5 inputs and 15 outputs.
