BY UNSA SHAKIR
Finite State Machine
•A finite-state machine (FSM) or finite-state
automaton is a mathematical model of
computation.
• We have a fixed set of states that the machine can
be in
•The machine can only be in one state at a time
•A sequence of inputs is sent to the machine
•Every state has a set of transitions and every
transition is associated with an input and pointing
to a state
ASM (algorithmic state machine)
– Flowchart-like diagram
– Algorithmic State Machine are suitable for FSMs with a
larger number of inputs and outputs compared to FSMs
expressed using state diagrams and state tables.
– Provide the same information as an FSM
– More descriptive, better for complex
description
– algorithm = sequencing + data manipulation
– Algorithmic state machines can model both
Mealy and Moore Finite State Machines

• ASMs have three types of building blocks:
– State Box
– Decision Box
– Conditional Output Box
FSM and ASM
The StateBox
6
State Box
• Indicated with a rectangle
• Equivalent to a node in the State diagram
• The name of the state is written outside the box
• Moore-type outputs are written inside the box
• Only the output that must be set to 1 is written
(by default, if an output is not listed it is set to 0)
The DecisionBox
Symbol
8
Alternate Symbol
Decision Box
• Indicated with a diamond shape
• Used for a condition expression that must be
tested
• The exit path is chosen based on the outcome of
the test
• The condition is on one or more inputs to the
FSM
• Shortcut notation: w means “is w equal to 1?”
The Conditional OutputBox
1
0
Conditional Output Box
• Indicated with an oval shape
• Used for a Mealy-type output signals
• Not used for a Moore-type output signals
• The outputs depend on the state variables and
inputs
• The condition that determines when such
outputs are generated is placed in a separate
decision box
• It is mostly use for high (1) output state.

practice
• Design an FSM that detects if the previous two
values of the input w were equal to 00 or 11
• If either condition is true then the output z should be
set to 1; otherwise to 0.
• Implement this as a Mealy-type machine
