Describing Sequential Systems

• So far we have used Truth Tables to describe sequential systems

• Can also use Bubble Diagrams and Algorithmic State Machine Charts (ASM) to describe a sequential system.

• Another name for a sequential system is a Finite State Machine (FSM).

• A sequential system with N flip-Flop has 2N possible states, so the number of possible states is FINITE.
