Mealy machine
[/ˈmiːli məˈʃiːn/]
nounpl: Mealy machines
máquina de Mealy
1. A finite state machine whose output depends on both the current state and the current input (as opposed to a Moore machine where output depends only on the current state)
A Mealy machine can produce output more efficiently than a Moore machine because it responds immediately to input changes.
Uma máquina de Mealy pode produzir saída de forma mais eficiente do que uma máquina de Moore porque responde imediatamente às mudanças de entrada.
2. In automata theory and digital logic design, a computational model that defines transitions and outputs based on present state and input symbols
The designer implemented a Mealy machine to control the elevator system with minimal state requirements.
O designer implementou uma máquina de Mealy para controlar o sistema de elevador com requisitos mínimos de estado.
Mealy machine is a specialized term primarily used in computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics education. Named after George H. Mealy who introduced it in 1955, it is a fundamental concept in formal languages and automata theory curricula worldwide. The term is used identically in both Brazilian and American technical contexts with no regional variations.
