Mealy-machines...Suppose you are told that a mealy machine is implemented with 3 flip-flops, 2 inputs and 6 asynchronous output....consider the complete stat diagram for this machine (no don't cares)...

a. What are the min and max numbers of states in the state diagram....hint: it is only a function of the number of flip-flops.

b. What are the min and max number of transition arrows starting at a particular state?

Hint: it is only a function of the number of inputs.

c. what are the min and max number of transition arrows that can end in a particular state?

Hint: min is always 0, max is a function of both a and b.

d. What is the number of different binary patterns that can be displayed on the outputs?

Hint: min is always 1. Max is the min(ans to c, 2**numberOfOutputs).
