Sequential Circuits
TABLE OF CONTENTS
11.1 Latches and Clocked Flip-Flops
11.2 Sequential Analysis and Design
Chapter 10 discusses combinational devices, which are commonly used in computer design. As useful as these devices are, however, it is impossible to build even the smallest computers as an interconnection of combinational circuits. In all the combinational devices mentioned, the output depends only on the input. When the input changes, it is only a matter of a few gate delays before that change is reflected in the output.
The distinguishing characteristic of a sequential circuit is its state.
The state of the circuit is the characteristic that distinguishes a sequential ...
