| 31 | == Exercise 4-1: Types of Automata |
| 32 | === _a)_ |
| 33 | _Moore-Automata:_ Automata the output of which depends only on |
| 34 | its current state. The outputs are placed inside the state. |
| 35 | The Moore automata is also slower, as it reacts to inputs once clock cycle later |
| 36 | and it's state and output are generated synchronously. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | _Mealy-Automata:_ Automata the output of which depends on both its state and |
| 39 | present input. The outputs are placed on transitions, rather than inside the |
| 40 | state - we get something like "$1 slash 0$" (if input $1$, output $0$ and |
| 41 | transition). \ |
| 42 | Mealy automata react faster to inputs and generates its output asynchronously. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | $arrow.double$ While Moore automata are easier to build, Mealy automata tend to |
| 45 | be faster and more efficient. A Moore automata is easier to design while a mealy |
| 46 | automata trades of that simplicity for a faster output and fewer necessary states. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | *Examples:* |
| 49 | Here we have an example on how to build a "Rising Edge Detector" (RED) as a |
| 50 | Mealy-automaton or as a Moore-automaton. \ |
| 51 | The RED detects when an input shifts from zero to one and outputs $bold(1)$ only when |
| 52 | that change actually occurs, otherwise $bold(0)$. |

| 90 | === _b)_ |
| 91 | To convert a Moore-automaton to a Mealy automaton you first copy all the states |
| 92 | and transitions. Then look at each transition and look at the target states |
| 93 | output and write the transition in the form of "Input / Output" and remove the |
| 94 | output from the target state. Finally you minimize as often there are duplicate |
| 95 | states that can be merged. |
