Combinational Circuit:

A combinational circuit produces an output based on input variables only, but


a sequential circuit produces an output based on current input and previous
output variables. That means sequential circuits include memory elements
that are capable of storing binary information. That binary information defines
the state of the sequential circuit at that time.
A latch capable of storing one bit of information.

Sequential Circuit:
Sequential circuits are digital circuits that store and use previous state
information to determine their next state. They are commonly used in digital
systems to implement state machines, timers, counters, and memory elements
and are essential components in digital systems design. The memory elements
in sequential circuits can be implemented using flip-flops, which are circuits
that store binary values and maintain their state even when the inputs change.
Types of Sequential Circuits
There are two types of sequential circuits.

Asynchronous Sequential Circuit


These circuits do not use a clock signal but uses the pulses of the inputs.
These circuits are faster than synchronous sequential circuits because there is
clock pulse and change their state immediately when there is a change in the
input signal. We use asynchronous sequential circuits when speed of operation
is important and independent of internal clock pulse.

But these circuits are more difficult to design and their output is uncertain.

Synchronous Sequential Circuit

These circuits uses clock signal and level inputs (or pulsed) (with restrictions
on pulse width and circuit propagation). The output pulse is the same duration
as the clock pulse for the clocked sequential circuits. Since they wait for the
next clock pulse to arrive to perform the next operation, so these circuits are
bit slower compared to asynchronous. Level output changes state at the start
of an input pulse and remains in that until the next input or clock pulse.

We use synchronous sequential circuit in synchronous counters, flip flops, and


in the design of MOORE-MEALY state management machines. We use
sequential circuits to design Counters, Registers, RAM, MOORE/MEALY
Machine and other state retaining machines.
