CS250 - Lecture 8

This conduction operation effects any one of the system’s numerous DFF elements many times per second ¤ Depending on the computer’s ____ _____

Hardware implementations realize the time dependency using a dedicated clock bus that feeds the master ____ ____ simultaneously to all the DFF elements in the system

Such circuitry are called time-independent, or _____

Circuitry encompassing the elementary logic gates we have discussed previously were designed to respond only to changes that occur during the ____ clock cycle

The combinational name alludes to the fact that these circuitry respond only to different combinations of their input values

¤ While paying ______ _____ to the progression of time

Circuits that are designed to respond to changes that occurred during previous time units (and possibly during the current time unit as well) are called _____, or clocked

The most fundamental sequential gate is the ____

The ____ _____ enables the sequential circuit to respond to inputs and outputs from the previous time unit

The introduction of feedback loops is ______

The DFF introduces an inherent ____ ____ so that the output at time t does not depend on itself but rather on the output at time t − 1
