5-16) Design a sequential circuit with two D Flip-Flops, A and B, and one input x.
When x = 0, then the state of the circuit remains the same. When x =1, the circuit goes
through the state transitions from 00 to 01 to 11 to 10 back to 00, and repeats.

5-17) Design a one input, one output serial 2’s complimenter. The circuit accepts a string
of bits from the input and generates the 2’s compliment at the output. The circuit can be
reset asynchronously to start and end the operation.
Solution:
The output is 0 for all 0 inputs until the first 1 occurs at which time, the output is 1.
Thereafter, the output is the complement of the input.

The state diagram has two states
State 0 : Output = Input
State1 : Output = Complement of input

5-19) A sequential circuit has three flip-flops A, B, C; one input x; and one output, y. The
state diagram is shown in Fig.P5-19. The circuit is to be designed by treating the unused
states as don’t-care conditions. Analyze the circuit obtained from the design to determine
the effect of the unused states.
a) Use D flip-flops in the design
b) Use J-K flip-flops in the design

5-20) Design the sequential circuit specified by the state diagram of Fig. 5-19 using
T flip-flops.

From State table (Table 5-4 from Digital Design, M. Mano, 3rd Edition, pp.186)
TA (A, B, x) = ∑ ( 2, 3, 6)
TB (A, B, x) = ∑ ( 0, 3, 4, 6)
TB = A′B+Bx′
TA = Ax′+B′x′+A′Bx
