I am a bit confused as to how im supposed to do numbers 2 and 3 on my assigned homework. My completed HW is below

 

You say that you haven't covered sequential circuits as all in class, yet this assignment is due on Wednesday.

Color me suspicious.

Look at your inputs to your 2-to-4 decoders. Is the '0' or the '1' input the lsb? Usually the '0' is the lsb. Which signal, 'A' or 'B', corresponds to the lsb (of those two). Ask the same question for the second layer.

good catch on the decoders. Im not sure why I put them in that order.

 

Your problem #2 is a Mealy machine. Look that up in your text and see if that helps. There are probably some examples that are worked.

We do not have a textbook. I will try to figure out a better start to the table. It is the 1/0, 1/1, 0/0, and 0/1 between the states that throws me off. I have never seen that before and he as not shown us an example in class. He briefly drew those notes in 10 minutes on the 25 and thats all the background I have in this stuff.

Then it's time to start searching the internet.

yup looking at youtube videos right now. thanks for the link

 

There are over 36,000 results on google for +"mealy machine"

 

anyone?

dont mean to bother, but would u mind looking over what I have now?

would you mind looking over what I have now? I have since changed all Q0 outputs to 0 and adjusted the state diagram to show that.

 

this is what I need to be checked.

 

My question would be, if Q0 and/or Q1 remains in the initial condition (0), would it even show up on a mealy diagram?

im not sure, my professor has never taught that. Is it wrong? are you saying since q0 is always 0 it shouldnt be there?

edit: im not sure what you are saying ha

 

My question would be, if Q0 and/or Q1 remains in the initial condition (0), would it even show up on a mealy diagram?

are you referring to the table, diagram, or both?

 

If the next state (1) never occurs why would one include it? On the other hand, it might be an exercise in mealy with zero practical usage in real life.

on edit:

I looked at the diagram and saw that two flip flops did not change state.

Im thinking it is just an exercise with no practical usage. It's a freshman CE class and he just introduced it. He has not even mentioned that it is called a mealy machine.

with that being said is my table and diagram correct even though some of it might not be necessary?

I don't know what your instructor wants. I'll let @WBahn weigh in with his opinion as he is an instructor.

Same with me, he has only covered this in one class and never one with 8 states so it has me a little confused. We also havent done these styles of problems before. I tried getting in touch with Wbahn but he hasnt responded.
