    Study Notes

    Sequential Circuit Design

    • Sequential circuits have an additional dimension: time.
    • Combinational logic depends only on the current input.
    • Sequential circuits depend on both current and previous inputs.
    • Sequential circuits are more powerful than combinational logic.
    • Sequential circuits can model conditions not possible in combinational logic.

    Sequential Circuit Analysis

    • To analyze a sequential circuit, start with a diagram.
    • Determine the flip-flop inputs and outputs.
    • Use A(t) and A(t+1) for current and next conditions.
    • An alternative method uses A and A+ to represent current and next conditions of flip-flops.
    • Example 1 uses a D flip-flop:
      • A+ = A ⋅ x + B ⋅ x
      • B+ = A' ⋅ x
      • y = (A + B) ⋅ x'

    Sequential Circuit Analysis (Continued)

    • Derive a state table from state and output functions.
    • The state table is similar to a truth table.
    • State table:
      • Input and conditions appear on the left.
      • Outputs and next conditions appear on the right.
      • M flip-flops and n inputs create 2m+n combinations.

    Sequential Circuit Analysis (Example 1)

    • State Equations

      • A+ = A ⋅ x + B ⋅ x
      • B+ = A' ⋅ x

    • Output Function

      • y = (A + B) ⋅ x'

    Flip-Flop Input Function

    • Sequential circuit output depends on flip-flop current state and input.
    • Example 1: y = (A + B) ⋅ x'
    • Circuit sections generating flip-flop input are described by flip-flop input equations (using algebra).

    Flip-Flop Input Function (Continued)

    • Flip-flop input functions determine the next condition.
    • Use criteria tables for flip-flops to find the next condition for each flip-flop from the function.
    • Example 2 uses JK flip-flops:
      • JA = B ⋅ Cx + B' ⋅ Cx'
      • KA = B + y

    Analysis: Example 3

    • Given a sequential circuit with two JK flip-flops (A and B) and one input (x):
    • Determine the flip-flop input functions:
      • JA = B
      • KA = B ⋅ x'
      • JB = x'
      • KB = A' ⋅ x + A ⋅ x' = A + x

    Analysis: Example 3 (Continued)

    • Create a state table using flip-flop criteria table to find next state values from input and present state.
    • Based on this state table, create a state diagram

    Analysis: Example 3 (Continued)

    • Draw a state diagram from the state table
    • Find the flip-flop input function, and use a criteria table for the flip-flops

    Flip-Flop Excitation Tables

    • Excitation tables show transition characteristics between current and next conditions to determine flip-flop input values.
    • Tables are provided for JK, SR, D, and T flip-flops.

    Designing Sequential Circuits

    • Circuit design steps start with specifications.
    • Create a state table.

    Design a Synchronous Counter

    • Binary counters count through a binary sequence.
