Combinational and sequential circuits are the most essential concepts to be understood in digital electronics. This lab introduces the concept of sequential logic circuits and their basic working mechanisms. Consist of a combinational circuit to which storage elements are connected to form a feedback path. A sequential logic circuit is defined as the one in which the present output is a function of the previous history or sequence of the inputs and also of the present input combination. This type of circuits uses previous input, output, clock and a memory element.

Here are the lectures from other classes that may be useful as a background. The basic memory element in sequential logic is the flipflop. Sequential logic digital video lecture all about circuits. The internal state is the set of values of the outputs of the memory elements. Static memories preserve the state as long as the power is turned on.

Introduction in digital circuits, state variables are binary values a circuit with n state variables can have 2n states since 2n is a. Experimental section1 you will build an adder using 7400nand gates. Also demonstrates the difference between level and edge sensitive devices, and basic timing diagrams of each. The storage capability in sequential circuits is normally achieved by means of flipflops. The word sequential means that things happen in a sequence, one after another and in sequential logic circuits, the actual clock signal determines when things will happen next. Sequential logic circuits unlike combinational logic circuits, the output of sequential logic circuits not only depends on current inputs but also on the past sequence of inputs.

Sequential implementation 1 sequential logic implementation models for representing sequential circuits abstraction of sequential elements finite state machines and their state diagrams inputsoutputs mealy, moore, and synchronous mealy machines finite state machine design procedure. Since memory is finite, therefore, the sequence size must always be finite, which means that the sequential logic can contain only a finite number of states. Missing states 1, 2, and 4 use dont cares for these states. Sequential logic circuits are introduced through the construction of a rs latch. Combinational logic a combinational system device is a digital system in which the value of the output at any instant depends only on the value of the input at that same instant and not on previous values.

Sequential logic devices have some sort of feedback, where the output of some logic device is fed back to the input of a logic device. So far we have investigated combinational logic for which the output of the logic devicescircuits depends only on the present state of the inputs. The values stored in memory elements define the state of a sequential component. Here is a sequential logic circuit and this is just an example.

Sequential logic circuits, on the other hand, have a time history. If two states in the same state diagram are equivalent, then they can be replace by a single state.
