Faculty [Link] Max. Marks : 100
PART- A (10X2=20 Marks)
1 Define: Latches
Latches are used for a sequential device that checks all of its inputs
U CO3
continuously and changes its outputs accordingly at any time independent of
clocking signal. Enable signal is provided with the latch
2 Realize JK flipflop using D Flipflop. CO3
3 How D flip flop converted into T flip flop. CO3
4 Define synchronous counter. CO3
5 Difference Between Edge triggering and Level triggering CO3
R
6 Differentiate Moore machine from Mealy machine.
R CO4
7 What is Hazards?Why do they occur? CO4
8 Define cycle in asynchronous sequential circuits. CO4
9 Draw the block diagram for Mealy model CO4
10 Explain Dynamic hazard. CO4
PART- B (5X13=65 Marks)
Design 3 bit binary synchronous counter with JK Flipflops CO3
11.a. Ap
11.b. Explain the operation of a BCD ripple counter with JK flip flops CO3
12.a (i)Explain Shift Registers with SISO U CO3
(ii)Design Ring Counter
12.b Design a D flip flop using J-K flip flop and explain with its truth table CO3
Draw the clocked RS flip flop and explain with truth table
Ap
13.a What is meant by universal Shift register? Explain the principle of operation of 4- CO3
bit Universal shift register
13.b Explain in detail static, dynamic and essential hazards in a digital circuit U CO4
14.a What are called as essential hazards? How does the hazard occur in sequential CO4
circuits? How can the same be eliminated using SR [Link] an example
14.b Differentiate critical races from non critical races U CO4
What is an Hazard? What are the types of hazards? Check whether the
following circuit contains an hazard or not
Y = x1 x2 + x2 ′ x3
If the hazard is present, demonstrate its removal
15.a Design of Moore Model with its example problem CO4
Ap
15.b Design and explain the working of synchronous mod-3 counter CO4
Ap
