Mealy to Moore Machine Conversion

The conversion from Mealy to Moore machines is more complex than the reverse direction because Mealy machines can produce outputs based on both state and input, while Moore machines only consider the current state for output generation.

Key Differences:
  • Mealy Machine: Outputs depend on both current state and input symbol
  • Moore Machine: Outputs depend only on the current state
Conversion Algorithm:
  1. Create new states representing combinations of original states and their outputs
  2. For each Mealy transition δ(q,a) = (p,o), create a Moore transition to a state that represents (p,o)
  3. Assign outputs based on the state representation
  4. In some cases, state splitting may be required to preserve output behavior
Important Notes:
  • Not all Mealy machines can be converted to equivalent Moore machines
  • The conversion may increase the number of states
  • Timing differences exist between the two machine types
