An important class of sequential circuits are state machines.
The output of a sequential circuit or computer program at any time is completely determined by its current inputs and current state.
Sequential Circuits went on to become one of the most successful music synthesizer manufacturers of the time.
This fault model applies to gate level circuits, or a block of a sequential circuit which can be separated from the storage elements.
Even a simple stuck-at fault requires a sequence of vectors for detection in a sequential circuit.
Clock skew scheduling is a related technique for optimizing sequential circuits.
Sequential Circuits' final release was the Studio 440.
In synchronous sequential circuits, the state of the device changes only at discrete times in response to a clock signal.
When output wires are fed back as inputs, the result is a feedback loop or sequential circuit that has the potential to consider its own history.
His synthesizer company, Sequential Circuits, was purchased by Yamaha in 1988.
