Terms in Sequential Circuits

Characteristic Table: Defines the logical properties of a flip-flop through a tabular representation of its operation.
State Table: Enumerates the time sequence of inputs, outputs, and flip-flop states, sometimes called a transition table.
Characteristic Equation: An algebraic representation of the logical properties of a flip-flop.
State Equation: An algebraic representation of a sequential circuit's behavior, specifying the next state based on the current state and inputs.
State Diagram: A graphical representation summarizing the state table's information.

Flip-Flop Input Equations (Excitation Equations)

Defines, algebraically, the circuit part generating inputs for flip-flops.

Analysis with D Flip-flops

Shows a circuit diagram with D flip-flops.

Analysis with JK Flip-flops

JK Flip-Flop Operation:
- J = 0, K = 0: No change to output.
- J = 0, K = 1: Reset (output to 0).
- J = 1, K = 0: Set (output to 1).
- J = 1, K = 1: Output complements (changes to its opposite state).
Characteristic Equation: Q(t+1) = JQ' + K'Q

Analysis with T Flip-flops

T Flip-Flop Operation:
- T = 0: No change to output.
- T = 1: Output complements.
Characteristic Equation: Q(t+1) = T'Q + TQ'
