A Mealy machine is similar to a Moore Machine, but with one key difference:
-
The input is also connected directly to the output combinational logic.
-
This allows the output to change immediately with input changes, making the Mealy machine one clock cycle faster compared to a Moore machine.
Modules
-
Next State Combinational Logic
- Determines the next state based on the current state and inputs.
-
State Register (Sequential Logic)
- Stores the current state.
- Updates on every clock edge.
-
Output Combinational Logic
- Produces the output based on both the current state and the inputs.
