PART-B 05*13 = 65

1. An asynchronous sequential circuit has two internal states and one output. The excitation
and output function describing the circuit are as follows
Y1 = X1X2 + X1Y2 +X2Y1

` Y2 = X2 + X1Y1Y2 + X1Y1 Z
= X2 + Y1

2. Explain the different methods of Race free state assignment.

3. Design a sequential circuit using D flip flop whose state table is specified below

Present state Next state Output

Q0 Q1 X=0 X=1 X=0 X=1
00 00 01 0 0
01 00 10 0 0
10 11 10 0 0
11 00 01 0 1
4. Summarize the design procedure for asynchronous sequential circuits.
5. Design an asynchronous sequential circuit with two inputs X and Y and with one output Z. Whenever Y is 1,
input x is transferred to Z. When Y is 0, the output does not change for any change in X.
