Lecture 8 Mealy and Moore Machines

This document discusses Mealy and Moore machines. It provides examples of designing Moore machines to detect specific sequences of inputs. A Moore machine is characterized by outputs that are a function of the current state only, while a Mealy machine has outputs that are a function of both the inputs and current state. The document provides an example of designing a Moore machine to detect a sequence of three consecutive 1's as inputs. It also gives examples of designing Moore machines to detect other sequences and with different output conditions.

Draw a Moore circuit to detect 110 sequence.

Design a Moore circuit which gives output

z=1 if three consecutives 1 but z=0 if 4 or


more consecutive 1 occurs.

Prepared by Shiraz Husain

Design a Moore sequential network that has

one input and one output. When it recieves


011, z=1 and remains 1 until second time
011 occurs after this output becomes 0 and
remains 0 until next time 011 occurs and so
on.
