Such systems are said to be memoryless systems. However, there are many applications in which digital outputs are required to be generated in accordance with the sequence in which the input signals are received, which cannot be accomplished using combinational circuits. These applications require outputs to be generated; they are not only dependent on the level present at the inputs at that time but also on the state of the circuit, i.e., on the prior input level conditions. The past history is provided by feedback from the output back to the input. Thus, sequential circuits are made up of combinational circuits and memory elements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The figure shows the block diagram of a sequential circuit. It consists of a combinational circuit, which accepts digital signals from external inputs and from the outputs of memory elements connected in a feedback path and generates signals for external outputs and for the inputs to the memory element.
