Sequential circuit

Sequential circuit



The main difference between a combinational circuit and a sequential circuit is that in the sequential circuit there is a feedback from one or more of the outputs to one or more of the inputs. See the following picture.

Sequential Circuit - Electronics Area

You can see that the output of the OR gate is feedbacked to the input of the lower AND gate.

This means that the F output depends on the inputs A and B and on the value it has previously.(Fo)

The boolean equation of a sequential logic circuit (example) - Electronics Area

The truth table would generally be like the one below, where the inputs are: A, B and the previous output F. (Fo)

The output F is the current output. (look at the following truth table)

Note: It is important to know that although the previous output column Fo shows "0" and "1" for all combinations of A and B, this is not necessarily true.
