# Lesson 25 — Finite State Machines II

<p class="block-synopsis">The seven-step design process, logic equations from a table, and flip-flops.</p>

**Objectives covered**

- **2.8** — I can model Moore and Mealy Finite State Machines (FSMs) using tools such as state transition diagrams, transition tables, and combinational and sequential logic circuits.
