Mealy v/s. Moore

Question

What is the difference between Mealy & Moore type of finite state machines?

Answer 1

• Mealy machine output depend on both upon current state and current input whereas Moore output depend only the current state.

• Generally Mealy machine has fever state than Moore machine.

• Mealy Output changes at the clock edged but Moore output change as soon as logic is done.

• Mealy react faster to input whereas Moore login is needed to decode the output since it has more circuits delays.
