Questions and Answers On Sequential Circuits

Sequential circuits are circuits whose output depends not only on the present input, but also on the past history of inputs. They are built using combinational circuits and memory elements called flip-flops. Flip-flops are basic storage elements that store a single bit and have two stable states. The difference between latches and flip-flops is that latches do not have a clock input, while flip-flops do. Sequential circuits contain memory elements like flip-flops that store previous state information and relate it to present inputs. Common applications of sequential circuits include counters, frequency dividers, and binary addition.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS

Q.1. What is sequential circuit?


Ans. These are defined as circuit whose output is dependent not only on the present input
value but also on the past history of its input. The sequential Circuits are designed using the
combinational circuits along with memory devices known as Flip-Flops. The sequential
Circuits depend over the input value as well as the stored levels.

Q.2. What is a flip flop?


Ans. Flip flop is one bit storage bistable device. Flip flop is also called latch. It stores binary
value. It is the basic building block of the digital electronic systems. These are the basically
the data storing devices which store the information of two stable states of the system. A flipflop stores only a single bit of data at a time.

Q.3. What is the difference between latch and flip flop?


Ans. The difference between the latch and flip flop is the method of changing their state. The
latch do not have clock input but flip flop has a clock input.

Q.4. Does sequential circuit contain memory element?


Ans. Yes, sequential circuit contain memory element. A storing element is added to store the
various stable states level information. This help in relating the feedback data from the past to
the present data.

Q.5. What is the application of T flip flop?


Ans. T Flip Flops can be used as follows(a) Frequency divider
(b) Counters
(c) Binary Addition devices

Q.6. How race around condition can be eliminated?


Ans. It is essential to understand the race around condition before the development of edge
triggered flip flop. As we know that the conditions s==1 and R==1 are not allowed in flip
flop by the use of feedback correction. Under this situation when input J and K are 1 and 1
output will change from 0 to 1. To avoid race around condition, we use master slave flip flop.
It has two different flip flops, which are connected serially.

Q.7. What is a counter?


Ans. Counter is a sequential circuit which is used to count the number of clock pulses of the
circuit. It is also sometimes used to display the number of time any event is repeated or
happening. Its a simple counter in the digital logics and computation which calculates the
number of times an assigned event is taking place.

Q.8. What is the difference between asynchronous counter and synchronous counter?
Ans. Asynchronous counter's speed is less while synchronous counters speed is high. In
asynchronous glitch occurs while in synchronous, there is no problem of glitch. In
asynchronous settling time is more while in synchronous settling time is less. Asynchronous
counters are simple and straight in operation while synchronous are complex in operation.

Q.9. How many types of shift register counters are there and write their names also?
Ans. There are two types of shift register counters which are named as(a) Ring counter and
(b) Johnson counter.

Q.10. What is a register?


Ans. Register is a group of flip flop or binary cells which holds the binary information. Since
a binary cell store a bit of information, n bit register has n flip flops and is capable of storing
any information of n bit.
