Sequential Logic
q Latch and register are two types of typical sequential
logic, both in static and dynamic

q Name conventions
§ In our text:
– a latch is level sensitive
– a register is edge-triggered

§ There are many different naming conventions

– For instance, many books call edge-triggered elements
flip-flops
– This leads to confusion however

Bi-Stability & Meta-Stability

p A and B are stable states

Ø Gain at A/B is <<1

p C is meta-stable state
Ø Gain at C >>1
Ø A small disturbance at C will move the latch to A/B

Master-Slave Register

p Two opposite latches make a register

p Also called master-slave latch pair

p How to make a negtive edge-triggered register?

18
Master-Slave Register

p CLK=0, T1 is on, T2 is off, input D is sampled on QM

p T3 is off, T4 is on, slave latch holds the last state
p CLK=1, T1 is off, T2 is on, master latch holds the state QM
p T3 is on, T4 is off, QM is copied to Q

p Setup time (Tsetup)

Ø the time before the rising edge of the clock that the input data D
must become valid.
p Hold time (Thold)
Ø the time that the input must be held stable after the rising edge of
the clock.
p Propagation delay (tcq)
Ø the time for the value of QM to propagate to the output Q.
