Ex 1: Obtain a primitive flow table for a circuit with two inputs, x1 and x2 , and two outputs, z1 and
z2 , that satisfy the following four conditions:
Ex 2: A traffic light is installed at a junction of a railroad and a road. The light is controlled by
two switches in the rails placed 1 mile apart on either side of the junction. A switch is turned on
when the train is over it and is turned off otherwise. The traffic light changes from green (logic 0)
to red (logic 1) when the beginning of the train is 1 mile from the junction. the light changes back
to green when the end of the train is 1 mile away from the junction. Assume that the length of the
train is less than 2 miles.
(b) Show that the flow table can be reduced to four rows.
(a) Obtain a primitive flow table for the circuit, and show that it can be reduced to the low table
shown in figure.
Ex 5: Merge each of the primitive flow tables shown in figure. Proceed as follows:
(c) Find a minimal set of compatibles that covers all the states and is closed.

Ex 6:
(a) Obtain the binary state assignment for the reduced flow table shown in figure. Avoid critical
race conditions.
(b) Obtain the logic diagram of the circuit, using NAND latches and gates.
Ex 7: Find a critical race free state assignment for the reduced flow table show in figure.

Ex 8: Consider the reduced flow table shown in figure.
(a) Obtain the transition diagram, and show that three state variables are needed for a race-free
binary state assignment.
(b) Obtain the expanded flow table, using the multiple-row method of assignment.
