DE 4.1 Flashcards
A circle in a state diagram containing the state name and values of the state variables.
Bubble
A transition between states of a state machine that occurs only under specific conditions of one or more control inputs.
Conditional Transition
A state machine input that directs the operation of the machine from state to state.
Control Input
A state machine whose output is determined by both the sequential logic and the combinational logic of the machine.
Mealy Machine
A state machine whose output is determined only by the sequential logic of the machine.
Moore Machine
A synchronous sequential circuit, consisting of a sequential logic section and a combinational logic section, whose outputs and internal flip-flops progress through a predictable sequence of states in responds to a clock and other input signals.
State Machines
A table whose entries represent the sequence of individual FF states (i.e., 0 or 1) for a sequential binary circuit.
State Table
A graphic representation of the operation of a sequential binary circuit, showing the sequence of individual FF states and conditions needed for transitions from one state to the next.
State Transition Diagram
The variables held in the flip-flops of a state machine that determine its present state.
