Study Notes

Learning Module 05: Synchronous Sequential Logic

  • This module details the operation and control of digital devices, focusing on circuits with memory (sequential logic).
  • Previous modules focused on combinational logic, where outputs depend only on current inputs
  • Sequential logic circuits store and retain information; their output is a function of past input
  • Sequential circuits include a combinational circuit combined with storage elements forming a feedback path

Module Overview

  • Modern devices (handhelds, computers, etc.) rely on binary data storage for memory, processed by sequential logic circuits
  • Synchronous sequential circuits' operation is defined from signals at discrete moments in time using a clock pulse
  • Asynchronous circuits' behavior depends directly on the timing and transitions of input signals; they're less common

Flip-Flops

  • Flip-flops are fundamental storage elements in synchronous circuits, storing one bit of information (0 or 1 consistently)
  • Clock pulses determine when flip-flops update their stored value

Module Requirements and Rubrics

  • Assessment for problem-solving, with percentage weights for understanding, interpretation, and execution of problem-solving skills.

Pre-Assessment

  • Memory elements in clocked sequential circuits are called flip-flops
  • Flip-flops switch states by changing input signals
  • Flip-flops can be built using NAND or XOR gates
  • Momentary state changes in flip-flops are represented as a 'trigger' or 'feedback path'
  • Clock pulses trigger clocked flip-flops
  • Sequential circuits include flip-flops or latches

Learning Packet 01: Flip-Flops

  • Storage elements in clocked circuits are known as flip-flops
  • Flip-flops maintain output states (0 or 1) until new information is input and/or a clock pulse occurs
  • Combinational logic circuits determine a flip-flop's new output value
  • Logic circuitry must respond quickly to changes to maintain valid output values when the clock pulse occurs

Objectives

  • Understanding principles and operation of various flip-flop types.

Learning Packet 02: Analysis of Clocked-Sequential Circuit

  • Analyzing clocked sequential circuits involves examining input, present state, next state, and output through time
  • The combination of inputs and present state determines the next state in a sequential circuit
  • This behavior is described by the state equation (a logical expression for the next state based on present state and inputs)

State Equation

  • Defines how the value of a system's state changes over time.
  • State equations depend on inputs, the current state, and the clock.

State Table

  • Lists possible present states, inputs and the resulting next state and output

State Diagram

  • Shows all the possible transitions between states as determined by the input, in visual form
