Study Notes
Sequential Logic Circuits
- Sequential logic circuits' state is dependent on previous inputs
- State reduction reduces the number of flip-flops in a sequential circuit
- State-reduction algorithms aim to reduce the number of states in a state table without changing external input-output requirements
- Equivalent states provide the same output and transition to the same or an equivalent state for each input
- Removing one equivalent state doesn't alter input-output relationships
- Designing sequential circuits involves assigning unique binary codes to states.
- "m" states require "n" bits, where 2n ≥ m
- Unused states act as don't-care conditions during design
- Don't-care conditions often lead to simpler circuits
- Automated synthesis tools, using D flip-flops, build complex circuits
Design Procedure
- Design methodologies define hardware to implement desired behavior
- Small circuits are sometimes designed manually, but large circuits rely on automated synthesis tools
- Synthesis tools primarily use D flip-flops to implement circuit behavior; these, together with additional logic, can represent JK and T flip-flops
Procedures for Designing Synchronous Sequential Circuits
-
A state diagram describes the circuit's operation, based on the specifications
-
The number of states may be reduced, if necessary
-
Binary values are assigned to each state
-
A binary-coded state table is created
-
The type of flip-flops (e.g., D, JK, T) is selected
-
Simplified input equations for flip-flops and output equations are developed
-
A logic diagram is drawn
Example: Detection of Sequences of Three or More Consecutive 1's
- A circuit detects three or more consecutive 1's from a serial input line.
- Techniques include use of D flip-flops and JK flip-flops.
Example: 3-Bit Binary Counter
- A 3-bit binary counter uses T flip-flops.
