Digital Module 3

Sequential logic circuits have memory elements that allow the output to depend on both the current and past input values. They consist of a combinational circuit with feedback provided by storage elements like flip-flops. The state of the storage elements defines the state of the sequential circuit. Synchronous circuits use a clock signal to control when operations occur, while asynchronous circuits change state immediately with input changes. Common storage elements include latches without a clock and flip-flops controlled by clock transitions like the SR latch, JK flip-flop, D flip-flop, and T flip-flop. Shift registers can be configured for serial-in parallel-out, serial-in serial-out, or parallel-in parallel-out

Sequential logic circuits

Sequential Circuit

❑Output depends not only on current input but also on past input values

❑Need some type of memory to remember the past input values


Sequential Circuit
❑ It consists of a combinational circuit to which storage elements are
connected to form a feedback path.
❑ The storage elements are devices capable of storing binary
information.
❑ The binary information stored in these elements at any given time
defines the state of the sequential circuit at that time.
Clock Signal in Sequential Circuits

❑The clock signal plays a crucial role in sequential circuits.


❑ A clock is a signal, which oscillates between logic level 0 and
logic level 1, repeatedly.
❑Square wave with constant frequency is the most common form
of clock signal.
Classification of Sequential Circuits

Based on the clock signal input, the sequential circuits are classified into two types

• Synchronous sequential circuit


• Asynchronous sequential circuit
Synchronous Sequential Circuits

❑ In Synchronous sequential circuit, the output depends on present and previous


states of the inputs at the clocked instances.

❑ The memory elements in these circuits will have clocks.

❑ These circuits are bit slower compared to asynchronous because they wait for
the next clock pulse to arrive to perform the next operation
Asynchronous Sequential Circuits

❑ The Sequential circuits which do not operate by clock signals are called
“Asynchronous sequential circuits”.

❑ These circuits will change their state immediately when there is a change in the
input signal .

❑ The Circuit behavior is determined by signals at any instant in time and the
order in which input signals change
L atches and Flip-flops

❑ Storage elements without a clock are called as latches.

❑ Storage elements which are controlled by a clock transition are called as flip-
flops.
S R Latch

❑ The SR latch is a circuit with two cross-coupled


NOR gates or two cross-coupled NAND gates S
❑ Two inputs labeled S for set and R for reset.
❑ The latch has two useful states.
❑ When output Q = 1 and Q ഥ = 0, the latch is said to R
be in the set state.
❑ When Q = 0 and Q= ഥ 1, it is in the reset state.
❑ Outputs Q and Q ഥ are normally the complement of
each other

• Under normal conditions, both inputs of the latch remain at 0 unless the state
has to be changed.
• The application of a momentary 1 to the S input causes the latch to go to the set
state.
S R Latch using NAND gate

1 1

1 1
0 0 1 1

❑ It operates with both inputs normally at 1.

❑ The application of 0 to the S input causes output Q to go to 1, putting the latch


in the set state.

Race Around Condition In JK Flip-flop

For J-K flip-flop, if J=K=1, and if clk=1 for a long period of time, then Q
output will toggle as long as CLK is high, which makes the output of
the flip-flop unstable or uncertain. This problem is called race around
condition in J-K flip-flop

❑ This can be avoided by ensuring that the clock input is at logic “1” only for a
very short time.
❑ This led to the development of Master Slave JK flip flop.

T-flip flop

T stands for the toggle. T flip-flop is modified version of JK flip-flop. JK


inputs of JK flip-flop combine together to form a single input T. This flip-flop
is called T flip-flop.

This type of Shift Register also acts as a temporary storage device or it can
act as a time delay device for the data
