State reduction: Ex1

A sequential circuit has one input (X) and one output (Z). The circuit examines groups of four consecutive inputs and produces an output \( Z = 1 \) if the input sequence 0101 or 1001 occurs. The circuit resets after every four inputs. Find the Mealy state graph.

State reduction

Equivalent states

Let \( N_1 \) and \( N_2 \) be sequential circuits (not necessarily different). Let \( \underline{X} \) represent a sequence of inputs of arbitrary length. Then state p in \( N_1 \) is equivalent to state q in \( N_2 \) iff \( \lambda_1(p, \underline{X} ) = \lambda_2 (q, \underline{X}) \) for every possible input sequence.

Equivalent states

Two states p and q of a sequential circuit are equivalent iff for every single input X, the outputs are the same and the next states are equivalent, that is, \( \lambda(p, X) = \lambda(q, X) \) and \( \phi(p, X) = \phi(q, X) \).
