The objective of this experiment is to design and analyze finite state machines and their state diagrams. You will be able to design Mealy machines, Moore machines, and sequential circuits.

• State Diagram Analysis: Understand and interpret state diagrams for sequential circuit behavior
• Mealy State Machines: Understand state machines where outputs depend on both current state and inputs (Theory: the 11011 sequence detector)
• Moore State Machines: Implement state machines where outputs depend only on the current state (Practice: the outputs A and B are the state)
• Sequential Circuit Implementation: Construct state machines from JK flip-flops and combinational logic, and design a detector of 3 or more 1s of your own (Practice)
• State Minimization: Apply techniques to optimize state machine designs for efficiency

Through this experiment, students will gain practical experience in sequential circuit design and understand the fundamental principles of finite state machine implementation in digital hardware.
