Starting from state A of the state table, find the sequence of states and output

Question

Starting from state A of the state table, find the sequence of states and output sequence following from input sequence 0010 0110 1100 1010 0011

Explanation / Answer

Having 16 addressable memory locations in the ROM, this Finite State Machine would have 16 different stable "states" in which it could latch. In each of those states, the identity of the next state would be programmed in to the ROM, awaiting the signal of the next clock pulse to be fed back to the ROM as an address. One useful application of such an FSM would be to generate an arbitrary count sequence, such as Gray Code: Address -----> Data Gray Code count sequence: 0000 -------> 0001 0 0000 0001 -------> 0011 1 0001 0010 -------> 0110 2 0011 0011 -------> 0010 3 0010 0100 -------> 1100 4 0110 0101 -------> 0100 5 0111 0110 -------> 0111 6 0101 0111 -------> 0101 7 0100 1000 -------> 0000 8 1100 1001 -------> 1000 9 1101 1010 -------> 1011 10 1111 1011 -------> 1001 11 1110 1100 -------> 1101 12 1010 1101 -------> 1111 13 1011 1110 -------> 1010 14 1001 1111 -------> 1110 15 1000
