Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What is the binary representation of three states?

💡 Hint: Think about how many bits are needed to represent the states.

Question 2 Easy

How many flip-flops are required for one-hot encoding of five states?

💡 Hint: Remember, each state gets its own flip-flop.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a system that has eight states. If implementing binary encoding, how many bits are needed? Discuss the trade-offs of using binary versus one-hot encoding in this context.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between the states and the corresponding binary numbers.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a truth table for a simple FSM that uses one-hot encoding for three states: Idle, Processing, Completed. Describe the transitions and outputs based on input signals.

💡 Hint: Start with defining the inputs and the expected outputs for each state.
