Introduction to Sequential circuits
A sequential circuit is specified by a time sequence of inputs,
outputs, and internal states
Contain memory elements.
The outputs are a function of the current inputs and the state of
the memory elements.
The outputs also depend on past outputs.
• D Latch
SR Latch
• The SR Latch, can be considered as one of the
most basic sequential logic circuit possible.
• This simple circuit is basically a one-bit
memory bistable device. Q
• It has two inputs,
– S: will “SET” the device (meaning the output Q = “1”)
– R: will “RESET” the device (meaning the output Q = “0”)
• Output Q is always complement of Q. Q’
