Introduction to Sequential circuits
A sequential circuit is specified by a time sequence of inputs,
outputs, and internal states
 Contain memory elements.
 The outputs are a function of the current inputs and the state of
the memory elements.
 The outputs also depend on past outputs.

Types of Sequential Circuits

• There are two types of sequential circuits are available. They


are
Synchronous Sequential Circuits.

Asynchronous Sequential Circuits.


Synchronous Sequential Circuits

• The outputs of a sequential circuit


depend on not only the inputs, but
also the state, or the current contents
of some memory.
• The memory contents can also
change as the circuit runs, so the
order in which things occur makes a
difference.
• The clock signal allows inputs, to
process and generates outputs.
Latches

• SR Latch using NOR gates

• SR Latch using NAND gates

• D Latch
SR Latch
• The SR Latch, can be considered as one of the
most basic sequential logic circuit possible.
• This simple circuit is basically a one-bit
memory bistable device. Q
• It has two inputs,
– S: will “SET” the device (meaning the output Q = “1”)
– R: will “RESET” the device (meaning the output Q = “0”)
• Output Q is always complement of Q. Q’
