In many applications, the outputs produced by a state machine during or shortly after re et are in-elevant, as long as the machine begins to behave correctly a short time after the reset signal is removed. If this idea is applied to Table 7-5, the INIT state can be removed and only two state variables are needed to code the remaining four states. Redesign the state machine using this idea. Write a new state table, transition/excitation table for D flip-flops, and minimal-risk excitation and output equations. Compare the cost of the new design (gates and flip-flops) with the minimal-risk design that was completed in Section 7.4.4.
