Combinational Circuits Sequential Circuits
Output depends only on the present value of Output depends on both the present and
the inputs. previous state values of the inputs

These circuits will not have any memory as Sequential circuits have some sort of
their outputs change with the change in the memory as their output changes according to
input value. the previous and present values.
There are no In a sequential circuit the outputs are
feedbacks involved. connected to it as a feedback path.
Used in basic Boolean operations. Used in the designing of memory devices.

Implemented in: Half adder circuit, full


Implemented in: RAM, registers, counters
adder circuit, multiplexers, DE multiplexers,
and other state retaining machines.
decoders and encoders.
Example of Combinational Circuit

Output only depends upon Input


Example:
ADDER
1
+ 0
_____
1
No need of previous output
Sequential Circuit Diagram
 Memory element
stores the previous
output and next
output is generated

element.
Example of Sequential Circuit
 Example:
COUNTER(Stop watch) used to measure time.
ADD 1 to previous output.
If previous output is 4 then counter will add 1 with previous output.
Previous output is stored in Sequential circuit. It is done by memory
elements, called Flip Flop.

Clock Signal in Sequential Circuits

 A clock is a signal, which oscillates


between logic level 0 and logic
level 1, repeatedly.
 Clock signals control the outputs of
the sequential circuit .
 That is it determines when and how
the memory elements change their
outputs .
 If a sequential circuit is not having
any clock signal as input, the output
of the circuit will change randomly.
 So that they cannot retain their state
till the next input signal arrives.
