c h a p t e r DO NOT 9 COPY DO NOT Sequential-Circuit Design Examples COPY • • • • • ust about every real digital system is a sequential circuit—all it takes • • • is one feedback loop, latch, or flip-flop to make a circuit’s present • DO NOT • • behavior depend on its past inputs. However, if we were to design or • • Janalyze a typical digital system as a single sequential circuit, we • • • would end up with an enormous state table. For example, strictly speaking, a • • • PC with only 16 Mbytes of main memory is a sequential circuit with well • • 128,000,000 over 2 states! • COPY • • We noted in previous chapters that we typically deal with digital • • • systems in smaller chunks, for example, partitioning them into data paths, • • • registers, and control units (Section 8.7.1). In fact, a typical
