Hence the previous state of input does not have any effect on the present state of the circuit. There is a periodic clock connected to the clock inputs of all the memory elements of the circuit to synchronize all the internal changes of state. Therefore synchronous circuits can be divided into clocked sequential circuits and uncklocked or pulsed sequential circuits. The output of a flipflop is constant until a pulse is applied to its clock input, upon which the input of the flipflop is latched into its output. Combinational circuit flipflops clock q w z combinational circuit. But sequential circuit has memory so output can vary based on input.
Synchronous types use pulsed or level inputs and a clock input to drive the circuit with restrictions on pulse width and circuit propagation. Asynchronous asynchronous sequential circuits internal states can change at any. A simple memory circuit constructed from a or gate is shown on figure 1.
