  2. Flip-flop (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)

    The term flip-flop has historically referred generically to both level-triggered (asynchronous, transparent, or opaque) and edge-triggered (synchronous, or clocked) circuits that store a single bit of data using gates. [1] Modern authors reserve the term flip-flop exclusively for edge-triggered storage elements and latches for level-triggered ones.

  3. Sequential logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_logic

    Sequential logic. In automata theory, sequential logic is a type of logic circuit whose output depends on the present value of its input signals and on the sequence of past inputs, the input history. [1][2][3][4] This is in contrast to combinational logic, whose output is a function of only the present input. That is, sequential logic has state ...

  4. Memory cell (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_cell_(computing)

    The memory cell is the fundamental building block of memory. It can be implemented using different technologies, such as bipolar, MOS, and other semiconductor devices. It can also be built from magnetic material such as ferrite cores or magnetic bubbles. [1] Regardless of the implementation technology used, the purpose of the binary memory cell ...

  5. Metastability (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastability_(electronics)

    In the worst case, depending on timing, the metastable condition at D s can propagate to D out and through the following logic into more of the system, causing undefined and inconsistent behavior. In electronics, metastability is the ability of a digital electronic system to persist for an unbounded time in an unstable equilibrium or metastable ...

  6. Field-programmable gate array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array

    A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a type of configurable integrated circuit that can be repeatedly programmed after manufacturing. FPGAs are a subset of logic devices referred to as programmable logic devices (PLDs). They consist of an array of programmable logic blocks with a connecting grid, that can be configured "in the field" to ...

  7. Synchronous circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_circuit

    Synchronous circuit. In digital electronics, a synchronous circuit is a digital circuit in which the changes in the state of memory elements are synchronized by a clock signal. In a sequential digital logic circuit, data is stored in memory devices called flip-flops or latches. The output of a flip-flop is constant until a pulse is applied to ...

  8. Linear-feedback shift register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register

    For the airport using that ICAO code, see Reims – Champagne Air Base. In computing, a linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) is a shift register whose input bit is a linear function of its previous state. The most commonly used linear function of single bits is exclusive-or (XOR). Thus, an LFSR is most often a shift register whose input bit is ...

  9. Excitation table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_table

    Excitation table. In electronics design, an excitation table shows the minimum inputs that are necessary to generate a particular next state (in other words, to "excite" it to the next state) when the current state is known. They are similar to truth tables and state tables, but rearrange the data so that the current state and next state are ...
