Combinational Vs Sequential Circuit

Combinational circuits have outputs that depend only on the present input values, while sequential circuits have outputs that depend on both the present and previous inputs. Sequential circuits contain memory elements like flip-flops that allow them to retain state, while combinational circuits do not have feedback and cannot retain state. Common examples of combinational circuits include adders and decoders, while common sequential circuits include counters, registers, and other state machines that use feedback and a clock signal.

Example of Combinational Circuit

Output only depends upon Input

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.
