4. Bit sequence recognizer [30]
Derive a minimal state table for a Mealy model FSM that acts as a sequence checker. During four consecutive clock cycles, a sequence of four values of the signal x is applied, forming a binary number. The oldest value of x would become the most significant bit in that binary number. The most recent value of x would become the least significant bit.
The FSM will output outputr = 1 when it detects that the previous 4 bit sequence was either 0100 or 1010. At all other times, including when the previous sequence was not those described previously, outputr = 0. Implement the FSM as a circuit in Logisim Evolution.
Note that much like the last problem, this is not a sliding window. After the fourth clock pulse, the circuit resets itself and is ready to take in the next 4 bit sequence.
You will lose a significant portion of credit if your FSM is not minimized.
You will lose a significant portion of credit if your combinational logic is not minimized. If you violate both this and the previous constraint, you will get a 0
