Unit IV
1. Design an asynchronous sequential circuit that has two inputs X2 and X1 and one output Z. When
X1 = 0, that output Z is 0. The first change in X2 that occurs while X1 is 1 will cause output Z to be 1. The output Z will remain 1 until X1 returns to 0.

c) Obtain a flow table for the circuit.


3. The Circuit has two inputs T (toggle) and C (clock) and one output Q. The output state is complemented if T=1 and clock C changes from 1 to 0 otherwise, under any other input condition, the output Q remains unchanged. Derive the primitive flow table and implication table and the logic diagram.


4. Draw the State diagram and obtain the primitive flow table for a circuit with two inputs X1 and X2 and two outputs Z1 and Z2 that satisfies the following conditions.
