Example 2: State Assignment & J/K Implementation

"(a) Find a good state assignments using the three guidelines

mentioned in class. (Do not reduce the table first).

Try to satisfy as many of the adjacency conditions as possible."

Adjacency conditions:

Rule 1: "States which have the same next-state

for a given input should be given adjacent assignments."

{f, c}, {d, b},

Rule 2: "States which are the next-states of the same states

should be given adjacent assignments."

2*{a, f}, 2*{c, b}, {e, f}, {a, e}

Output: "States which have the same output for a given input

should be given adjacent assignments."

Not of any value in this case; one input & one

output almost everything would need to be adjacent!

Lowest priority anyway.
