sequential circuits

Sequential circuits refer to a type of electrical circuit where the output depends not only on the current inputs but also on past inputs. This means that the circuit's state changes over time in a specific sequence, making it crucial for applications like memory storage and timing systems. Unlike combinational circuits, which produce outputs solely based on current inputs, sequential circuits can “remember” and process information based on previous events. Examples include flip-flops and registers in digital electronics, commonly used in computers and other electronic devices to manage data and control signals.
