What are the different types of sequential circuits. Examples of synchronous sequential circuit are flip flops, synchronous counter. First, we make the stable state and the next step is to derive the excitation table for the design circuit, which is shown in table 4. In asynchronous sequential circuits the inputs are levels and there are no clock pulses. Consequently the output is solely a function of the current 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. That means, all the outputs of asynchronous sequential circuits do not change affect at the same time.
