Q & A
What is the significance of sequential circuits in digital electronics?
-Sequential circuits are fundamental in digital electronics because they form the basis for flip-flops, counters, and registers, which are essential components in digital systems and are often the subject of many questions in the field.
Why are combinational circuits important when discussing sequential circuits?
-Combinational circuits are important when discussing sequential circuits because the definition of a sequential circuit is partly based on the concept of a combinational circuit, where the output depends only on the present input.
What is the main difference between a combinational circuit and a sequential circuit?
-The main difference is that in a combinational circuit, the present output depends only on the present input, while in a sequential circuit, the present output depends on both the present input and the past output(s).
What role does memory play in sequential circuits?
-Memory is crucial in sequential circuits as it is used to store the previous output(s), which, along with the present input, determines the current output. This storage capability is what differentiates sequential circuits from combinational circuits.
Why is it necessary to convert a combinational circuit into a sequential circuit?
-Conversion to a sequential circuit is necessary when the system requires the output to depend on past states or outputs, such as in counters that need to remember the count from one clock cycle to the next.
How does a counter, as a sequential circuit, operate?
-A counter operates by incrementing its output by one each time it receives an input signal, remembering the previous output to determine the next state, thus counting from 0 to 9 in the case of a decimal counter.
What is the purpose of feedback in sequential circuits?
-Feedback in sequential circuits is used to connect the output of the circuit back to its input, allowing the circuit to use the past output as part of the current input, which is essential for the circuit to remember its state over time.
What is the initial method mentioned for storing a single bit in a sequential circuit?
-The initial method mentioned for storing a single bit in a sequential circuit is the use of a cascaded NOT gate arrangement, which can store a high or low state.
How are flip-flops related to the memory aspect of sequential circuits?
-Flip-flops are the memory elements in sequential circuits, used to store bits of information. They are the building blocks that enable the storage and retrieval of past output(s).
What is the significance of the lecture number in the presentation?

Transcripts
in this presentation we will study about
the sequential circuits a very very
important presentation in the digital
electronics course because this is the
base for your flip
flops
counters and registers all these three
topics very important and there are so
many questions being asked from this
three topics only so if you want to
master these three topics you have to
understand what is sequential circuits
first that we will study in this
presentation only there is also a small
change that you will find in the coming
videos and this presentation is the
lecture number I'm mentioning the
lecture number like this is 118th
lecture in the digital electronics
course this will help the students who
are learning the digital electronics
first time okay so let's move to the
sequential circuits what it is when we
talk about the sequential circuits it
becomes important for us to talk about
the combinational circuits at the same
time okay because half of the definition
of the sequential circuit is the
combinational circuit let's see how this
is a
formal
definition for your sequential circuit
you can use this definition if someone
ask you what is sequential circuit in
your exams as well so in sequential
circuits the present output okay the
first important thing is the present
output depends upon the present input
okay now this two things when combined
together makes your combinational
circuit in combinational circuit the
present output depends only on the
present input okay we have to use word
only here for the combinational circuit
because if I say I'm having a
combinational circuit that takes takes
two input the first input is let's say
one and the second input is also one and
the combinational circuit here here adds
this two numbers so 1 + 1 gives you zero
as the sum and one as the carry okay so
this is the result that we are having
again you are using this same same adder
and you want to add zero and one then
the result will be what 1 0er it has
nothing to do with this output okay what
was the previous output let me explain
you once more you are adding one one
okay so you are getting the result 01
this is your output okay now again you
are adding different number let's say 0
1 then the output is 1 Z now this output
this is your present output that we are
talking about this present output is
only depending upon this present input
this is your
present input this this one is your past
input and this one is
your past output fine so this output the
present output has nothing to do with
the past input or the past output thus
we call it as the combinational circuit
okay I hope you are getting this but in
case of sequential circuit the present
output depends upon the present input as
well as as well as it depends upon the
past output or outputs okay like in this
case we are having two outputs so it
depends upon the past output or outputs
as well so this is the major difference
between your sequential circuit and the
combinational circuit let's see how it
works for example this is my
combinational circuit this is my input
present input and this is my present
output so the present output depends
only on the present input now if I say I
want to convert this combinational
circuit to the sequential circuit then
what I have to do let's
see I have to take this
output the all the three outputs
actually and then store it I have to
store it now let me explain you why I
need to store
it counter is the sequential circuit and
you already know that how counter Works
let's say if it is the decimal counter
it counts from 0 to 9 every time it adds
1 to 0er then we will get 1 then again
it adds 1 to 1 we get two then 2 + 1 3
then 4 5 6 7 8 9 so every time it is
adding adding one to the previous output
because 0 + 1 gives us one now when you
add one to one we must know that this
one was was the previous output because
until and unless you know what was the
previous output how you going to add one
for example if I'm at five then the
counter will count
six it will count six only if it knows
that the previous output was five until
and unless it knows what was the
previous output how it is going to add
one so we require to store we required
to
store previous output this is the very
important point in the sequential
circuit we require to store the previous
output so what we need we need a
memory okay so what I'm actually doing
here I'm giving inputs I'm getting the
output and also at the same time and
storing that particular output or
outputs in my memory block we will talk
about this memory very important point
this memory will keep the output till
the time I'm again going to use it let's
say time came and we have to use the
values stored in this memory and these
values will be
used as the
inputs so let's see what we got here we
are having three inputs these are our
present input then we are having the
output and also we are having the memory
element which has already stored the
output from the previous inputs so this
will become our past output and this
past output will go to the input and you
can call it as the
feedback we go as the feedback and the
present output will depend upon this
present input and the past output so
this is our sequential circuit now let
me explain you the important Point what
is this map memory okay because in
sequential circuit everything is
combinational you can see everything is
combinational except this memory and the
feedback so we have to focus on this
memory that what is this memory and how
we are going to store the output and as
we are in the digital world the output
will be Zer or one bits you can say so
we have to store the bits how we are
going to do that if we know how to store
a single bit we later can store multi-
bits also so the first thing that came
in the mind of the people is to use
cascaded not gate okay before that let
me tell you this memory is nothing but
your flip flops okay I have raised the
curtains the suspense is over this
memory is your flip flops okay but
people didn't get to the flip-flops
directly but they have thought different
methods to store a single bit number
earlier it was the cascaded not gate
Arrangement that can be used to store a
single bit okay let's see
how these are your two not Gates and if
the input is one or high the output of
your first not gate is zero and then the
output of your second not gate is one so
you can see that this one is stored
