Sequential circuits form a fundamental cornerstone of modern digital electronics. At a high level, a sequential circuit is a type of digital circuit whose output depends not only on the present value of its input signals but also on the sequence of past inputs, essentially giving it a "memory." This characteristic distinguishes them from their simpler counterparts, combinational circuits, whose outputs are solely determined by their current inputs. Gentle introductions to this concept can be found in many introductory digital logic materials, often highlighting how these circuits are the building blocks for creating systems that can store information and perform step-by-step operations.
