Mealy machines and Moore machines are two types of finite state machines. Mealy machines change their output based on the current input and state, while Moore machines' output only depends on the current state. Mealy machines generally react faster to inputs and require fewer states but less hardware. Moore machines react one clock cycle later, require more states but more hardware, and counters are an example of a Moore machine.
