Combinational and sequential circuits are fundamental components in digital design, with each type serving distinct purposes. Combinational circuits output solely based on current inputs, while sequential circuits incorporate memory and past states in their operations. The chapter delves into designing these circuits using VHDL and Verilog, covering various examples and methodologies for implementation.

Introduction To Combinational And Sequential Circuits
Combinational and sequential circuits are the two primary types of digital circuits in system design, with combinational circuits dependent solely on current inputs and sequential circuits incorporating both current inputs and past states.
