5. Definition of a Moore Machine A finite set of states –q 0, q 1, q 2, etc. –q 0 is the start state Alphabet of input letters Alphabet of output letters Transitions –A unique one for each letter and each state Output Table –A letter for each state

7. Defining a Language To change a FA into a Moore machine which accepts the same language –Name each state –Name the Start state q 0 –Output 0 in all non-final states –Output 1 in all Final states. A string is accepted if after it has been completed read in the last letter printed is 1.

9. Definition of a Mealy Machine A finite set of states –q 0, q 1, q 2, etc. –q 0 is the start state Alphabet of input letters Alphabet of output letters Transitions –A unique one for each letter and each state –Each transition also has one output letter

10. Equivalence of Machines Every Moore machine can be turned into a Mealy machine. Every Mealy machine can be turned into a Moore machine. Every regular language can be defined by Moore machine or a Mealy machine. All languages defined by a Moore machine or a Mealy machine are regular.

11. Sequential Circuits The output depends on the sequence of past inputs. The circuits consist of –a logic gates i.e. AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR –storage elements i.e. flip-flops, latches.

12. Clocked Synchronous Sequential Circuits Clocked –Means all the flip-flops employ a clock input. Synchronous –Means all the flip-flops use the same clock signal. These circuits only change state when a triggering edge or “tick” occurs on the clock signal.

14. D Flip-Flop Stores one bit of information new value of Q = old value of D Q* = D DQ Q CLK NOT Q
