Task 4-1: Design of Synchronous Sequential Machines
Design #1 (Mealy machine): What assumptions did you make in the design of this machine?________ ____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Create a state definition table here that describes in plain English what each state in your machine means and what binary values you have assigned to represent each state.
Create tables here to display your state diagrams, state transition tables and Karnaugh maps used in your design process. (You can do this by hand if you wish.)
Include a picture of your Logisim design schematic #1 (Mealy machine) circuit here:
Design #2 (Moore machine): What assumptions did you make in the design of this machine? _____________________________________________________________________________________

Include a picture of your Logisim design schematic #2 (Moore machine) circuit here:
Task 4-2: Simulate Both Designs
Demonstrate that both of your circuits meet the completed design specification by describing how you tested them and what your findings were.
Task 4-3: Determine Criteria and Weighting for Judging Your Designs
Using the guidelines in the Design Project Description, list your criteria and associated weights here:
Criteria Weight
Task 4-4: Apply the Criteria to Pick the Best Design
Describe how you applied the criteria and weighting system in the above task to pick the best design.
Which design is better based on your criteria and weighting system?__________________________
Task 4-5: Build One Design in Hardware
Build one of the designs in Hardware using the ICs available to you. If you have not already done so, label the input and output pins on your schematic to allow for easy wiring and paste the schematic in the space below. Similar to Task 4-2, come up with a testing plan that allows you to assess if your circuit meets the desired specifications and report if your test has been successful or what problems you ran into. Even if you are not able to build a “working” circuit, you will still get partial credit if you are able to describe how far you got and what went wrong.
Task 4-6: Take a Photo of your Completed Hardware Circuit
Before you rip everything apart, take a photo of your completed circuit and attach it to the lab template. This will serve as a replacement for the “attendance stamp” that the in-person students have to get on their paper lab submission.

SELF-ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET
Put an ‘X’ in the table below indicating how strongly you agree or disagree that the outcomes of the assigned tasks were achieved. Use ‘5’ to indicate that you ‘strongly agree’ and ‘1’ to indicate that you ‘strongly disagree’. Use ‘NA’, Not Applicable, when the tasks you performed did not elicit this outcome. Credit will be given for including this worksheet with your lab report. However, your responses will not be graded, they are for your instructor’s information only.

Our Service Charter
-
Excellent Quality / 100% Plagiarism-Free
We employ a number of measures to ensure top quality essays. The papers go through a system of quality control prior to delivery. We run plagiarism checks on each paper to ensure that they will be 100% plagiarism-free. So, only clean copies hit customers’ emails. We also never resell the papers completed by our writers. So, once it is checked using a plagiarism checker, the paper will be unique. Speaking of the academic writing standards, we will stick to the assignment brief given by the customer and assign the perfect writer. By saying “the perfect writer” we mean the one having an academic degree in the customer’s study field and positive feedback from other customers. -
Free Revisions
We keep the quality bar of all papers high. But in case you need some extra brilliance to the paper, here’s what to do. First of all, you can choose a top writer. It means that we will assign an expert with a degree in your subject. And secondly, you can rely on our editing services. Our editors will revise your papers, checking whether or not they comply with high standards of academic writing. In addition, editing entails adjusting content if it’s off the topic, adding more sources, refining the language style, and making sure the referencing style is followed. -
Confidentiality / 100% No Disclosure
We make sure that clients’ personal data remains confidential and is not exploited for any purposes beyond those related to our services. We only ask you to provide us with the information that is required to produce the paper according to your writing needs. Please note that the payment info is protected as well. Feel free to refer to the support team for more information about our payment methods. The fact that you used our service is kept secret due to the advanced security standards. So, you can be sure that no one will find out that you got a paper from our writing service. -
Money Back Guarantee
If the writer doesn’t address all the questions on your assignment brief or the delivered paper appears to be off the topic, you can ask for a refund. Or, if it is applicable, you can opt in for free revision within 14-30 days, depending on your paper’s length. The revision or refund request should be sent within 14 days after delivery. The customer gets 100% money-back in case they haven't downloaded the paper. All approved refunds will be returned to the customer’s credit card or Bonus Balance in a form of store credit. Take a note that we will send an extra compensation if the customers goes with a store credit. -
24/7 Customer Support
