A state machine whose outputs depend on both the current state and the inputs. Input changes reach outputs within the same cycle, but so can input glitches. A Moore machine's outputs depend only on state.
Field: HDL & Verification
In a Moore machine, outputs depend only on the current state; in a Mealy machine, they depend on both state and inputs.
Which type of sequential circuit (state machine) has output…In a Mealy machine the output logic looks at inputs as well as the current state, so outputs change with inputs without waiting for a clock, reacting one cycle sooner.
What characterizes a Mealy state machine?Sequential circuit Glitch Asynchronous reset Blocking assignment Combinational loop Constrained random verification Four-state logic Gate-level simulation Generate statement Hardware description language (HDL)
