14. Give step-by-step procedure to analyse a given synchronous sequential circuit.
15. Design a sequential circuit with two flip flops A & B and one input X. When X=0, the state of the circuit remains
the same and when X=1 the circuit passes through the state transition from 00 to 01 to 11 to 10 back to 00 and
repeat.
16. A sequential circuit has two JK flip flops A & B, two inputs X & Y, one output Z. The equations defining this
system are as following:
JA= BX+B’Y’ , KA= B’X’Y’, JB=A’X, KB= A+XY’
Z= AXY+BX’Y’.
Design the circuit.
