Suppose we want to design a synchronous circuit that processes a string of 0’s and 1’s. Given a string, it produces another string by replacing the first 1 in any subsequence of consecutive 1’s by a 0. Consider the following example.
Input sequence: 00100110001100
Output sequence: 000000100001100
A Mealy Machine is a state machine where both the next state and the output are functions of the present state and the current input. The mentioned circuit can be designed as a two-state Mealy machine. The states in the Mealy machine can be represented using Boolean values 0 and 1. We denote the current state, the next state, the next incoming bit, and the output bit of the Mealy machine by the variables
,
,
and
respectively. Assume the initial state of the Mealy machine is 0.What are the Boolean expressions corresponding to
and
in terms of
and
?Your answerChoose one option.
