Excitation table

This article is orphaned as few or no other articles link to it. Please help introduce links to this subject in articles on topics related to it. (September 2008)

In electronics design, an excitation table shows the minimum inputs that are necessary to generate a particular next state when the current state is known. They are similar to truth tables and state tables, but rearrange the data so that the current state and next state are next to each other on the left-hand side of the table, and the inputs needed to make that state change happen are shown on the right side of the table.
