• Q is a finite set of states
• Σ is a finite set of input symbols called alphabet
• Γ is a finite set of output symbols called output alphabet
• δ: Q × Σ → Q × Γ ∗ is the transition function
• s ∈ Q is the start state.
• F ⊆ Q is the final state/s.(may have 0 final state)
Example Transducer
• Q={q1,q2}
• Σ={0,1,2}
• Γ={0,1}

Moore Machine to Mealy Machine
• Input − Moore Machine
• Output − Mealy Machine
• Step 1 − Take a blank Mealy Machine transition table format.
• Step 2 − Copy all the Moore Machine transition states into this table
format.
• Step 3 − Check the present states and their corresponding outputs in
the Moore Machine state table; if for a state Qi output is m, copy it
into the output columns of the Mealy Machine state table wherever
Qi appears in the next state.

Algorithm 5
• Input − Mealy Machine
• Output − Moore Machine
• Step 1 − Calculate the number of different outputs for each state (Q i)
that are available in the state table of the Mealy machine.
• Step 2 − If all the outputs of Qi are same, copy state Q i. If it has n
distinct outputs, break Qi into n states as Qin where n = 0, 1, 2.......
• Step 3 − If the output of the initial state is 1, insert a new initial state
at the beginning which gives 0 output.

• Let us consider the following Mealy Machine −
Next State
Present State a=0 a=1
Next State Output Next State Output
→a d 0 b 1
b a 1 d 0
c c 1 c 0
d b 0 a 1
Here, states ‘a’ and ‘d’ give only 1 and 0 outputs respectively, so we retain states ‘a’ and ‘d’.
But states ‘b’ and ‘c’ produce different outputs (1 and 0). So, we divide b into b0,
b1 and c into c0, c1.
