5.5.1 Dual-edge detector A dual-edge detector is similar to a rising-edge detector except that the output is asserted for one clock cycle when the input changes from 0 to 1 (i. e., rising edge) and 1 to 0 (i. e falling edge). 1. Design a circuit based on the Moore machine and draw the state diagram and ASM chart. 2. Derive the HDL code based on the state diagram of the ASM chart. 3. Derive a testbench and use simulation to verify operation of the code.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
