    Study Notes

    Combinational Logic Circuits

    • The primary purpose of a combinational logic circuit is to produce output based on the current input.
    • Examples of combinational logic circuits include decoders, adders, and subtractors.

    Decoder

    • The main function of a decoder in combinational logic circuits is to generate the output based on the input code.

    Sequential Logic Circuits

    • The role of a sequential logic circuit is to produce output based on the current input and the previous input/output.
    • Sequential logic circuits employ memory elements.

    Flip-Flop

    • The distinguishing feature of a flip-flop in sequential logic circuits is its ability to store binary information.

    Combinational vs Sequential Circuits

    • The main difference between combinational and sequential circuits is that combinational circuits do not store binary information, whereas sequential circuits do.

    Arithmetic Circuits

    • A half-adder circuit accepts 2 binary bits as inputs and produces sum and carry.
    • A full-subtractor circuit accepts 2 binary bits (minuend and subtrahend) and produces difference and borrow.
    • A half-subtractor circuit accepts 2 binary bits (minuend and subtrahend) and produces difference and borrow-out.

    Binary Parallel Adder

    • The function of a Binary Parallel Adder circuit is to add multiple binary bits in parallel.
    • The primary function of a half-adder circuit in combinational logic is to add 2 binary bits.
    • A full-adder circuit is distinguished from a half-adder circuit in combinational logic by its ability to add 3 binary bits (2 inputs and a carry-in).

    Magnitude Comparator

    • The primary function of a magnitude comparator in combinational logic circuits is to compare the magnitude of two binary numbers.

    Sequential Logic Circuits

    • A Mealy machine is a type of sequential logic circuit that employs memory elements such that the state of each output channel depends on the previous states of the input channel.
    • The distinguishing feature of a shift register in sequential logic circuits is its ability to shift binary data.
    • The function of a demultiplexer in combinational logic circuits is to connect a single input line to one of multiple output lines.
