  2. DEFINITION OF SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT • CIRCUITS IN WHICH THE VALUES OF THE OUTPUTS DEPENT ON: • THE PRESENT VALUES OF THE INPUTS • THE PAST BEHAVIOR OF THE CIRCUIT ARE CALLED SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT. IN SUCH CIRCUITS STORAGE ELEMENTS STORE THE VALUES OF THE SIGNALS. THE CONTENTS OF THE STORAGE ELEMENTS REPRESENT THE STATE OF THE CIRCUIT. THERE ARE TWO TYPES: • SYNCHRONOUS, AND • ASYNCHRONOUS

  3. W Combinational Combinational Z Flip-flops circuit circuit Q Clock DEFINITION OF SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT SYNCHRONOUS SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS: ARE SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS CONTROLLED BY A CLOCK SIGNAL

  4. R Y y Q S DEFINITION OF SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT ASYNCHRONOUS SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS: ARE SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS: • WITH NO CLOCK SIGNALS, • NO FLIP-FLOPS TO STORE STATE VARIABLES • Feedback signal Gate-delay

  6. MEMORY ELEMENTS CLASSIFICATION: LATCHES AND FLIP-FLOPS BASIC LATCH: is a feedback connection of two NOR gates or two NAND gates. GATED LATCH: is a basic latch that includes input gating and a control input signal. FLIP-FLOPS: is a storage element based on the gated latch principle which can have its output statechanged only at the edge of the controlling clock signal.

  7. MEMORY ELEMENTS CLASSIFICATION: LATCHES AND FLIP-FLOPS (Continues) • The state of the LATCH keeps changing according to the values of the input signals during the period when the clock is active. • The state of the FLIP-FLOP changes only at the edge of the controlling clock signal.

SETUP TIME: Minimum time that the D input signal must be stable prior to the negative (positive) edge of the Clk (clock) signal. HOLD TIME: Minimum time that the D input signal must remain stable after the negative (positive) edge of the Clk (clock) signal

  18. MEMORY ELEMENTS • FLIP-FLOPS (Continues) • FLIP-FLOP CONVERSIONS : Given a flip-flop as a buiding block, produce another type of flip-flop. • APPROACH: Determine the input logic to the given flip-flop by satisfying the condition that both flip-flops must have identical logic behavior (their outputs are the same)

  19. MEMORY ELEMENTS • FLIP-FLOP CONVERSIONS (Continues): • Example: Produce the circuit of a J-K-type flip-flop using a T-type flip-flop as a building block and NAND gates as needed • The corresponding circuit is shown on next slide T = J !Q + K Q

  20. MEMORY ELEMENTS • FLIP-FLOP CONVERSIONS: • Example (Continues): Circuit of a J-K flip-flop using a T flip-flop

  21. ASYNCHRONOUS SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT IN SYNCHRONOUS SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS A CLOCK SIGNAL CONSISTING OF PULSES, CONTROLS THE STATE VARIABLES WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY FLIP-FLOPS. THEY ARE SAID TO OPERATE IN PULSE MODE. IN ASYNCHRONOUS CIRCUITS STATE CHANGES ARE NOT TRIGGERED BY CLOCK PULSES. THEY DEPEND ON THE VALUES OF THE INPUT AND FEEDBACK VARIABLES. TWO CONDITIONS FOR PROPER OPERATION: 1.-INPUTS TO THE CIRCUIT MUST CHANGE ONE AT A TIME AND MUST REMAIN CONSTANT UNTIL THE CIRCUIT REACHES STABLE STATE. 2.-FEEDBACK VARIABLES SHOULD CHANGE ALSO ONE AT A TIME. WHEN ALL INTERNAL SIGNALS STOP CHANGING, THEN THE CIRCUIT IS SAID TO HAVE REACHED STABLE STATE. WHEN THE INPUTS SATISFY CONDITION 1 ABOVE, THEN THE CIRCUIT IS SAID TO OPERATE IN FUNDAMENTAL MODE.

  22. R Y y Q S (a) Circuit with modeled gate delay ASYNCHRONOUS SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT ASYNCHRONOUS BEHAVIOR Consider the Set-Reset latch. • The gates shown below have no delay. Their delay (twice one-gate delay) is represented by the square.

ASYNCHRONOUS SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT ASYNCHRONOUS BEHAVIOR: Set-Reset latch (continues) • The circuit behavior is represented by a State-assigned table or Flow table which show every possible transition of the circuit for each input value. Stable-states are those circled in the table because, while the inputs are stable, present state is equal to next state (internal variables stop changing). Columns with no circled sates indicate circuit oscillation for that particular input value.

IT BELONGS TO A MORE ADVANCED LOGIC DESIGN COURSE. • THIS SUBJECT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN TODAYS DIGITAL SYSTEMS DESIGN BECAUSE CLOCKS ARE SO FAST THAT THEY PRESENT PROPAGATION DELAYS MAKING SUBSYSTEMS TO OPERATE OUT OF SYNCHRONIZATION. • TECHNIQUES FOR SYNTHESIS OF ASYNCHRONOUS CIRCUITS INCLUDE • THE HOFFMAN OR CLASSIC SYNTHESIS APPROACH • HANDSHAKING SIGNALING FOR TWO SUBSYSTEMS TO COMMUNICATE ASYNCHRONOUSLY
