Question

Explain the difference among a truth table, a state table, a characteristic table, and an excitation table. Also explain the difference among a boolean equation, a state equation, a characteristic equation and flip flop input equation.

Answer 1

truth table =A truth table is a mathematical table used in logic—specifically in connection with Boolean algebra

state table =In automata theory and sequential logic, a state-transition table is a table showing what state (or states in the case of a nondeterministic finite automaton) a finite-state machine will move to, based on the current state and other inputs.

excitation table=excitation table shows the minimum inputs that are necessary to generate a particular next state (in other words, to "excite" it to the next state) when the current state is known.
