TABLE OF CONTENTS Objective: Sequential circuits are studied in Chapters 13 to 15. In Chapter 13, the fundamental building blocks (latches and flip-flops) were introduced and discussed at length. We turn now to the study of circuits that employ such building blocks. The discussion starts with shift registers, followed by the most fundamental type of sequential circuit, counters, and then several shift-register and/or counter-based circuits, namely signal generators, frequency dividers, prescalers, PLLs, pseudo-random sequence generators, and data scramblers. This type of design will be further illustrated using VHDL in Chapter 22.
