  Sequential Circuits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sequential Circuits Inc. (SCI) was a California-based synthesizer company that was founded in the early 1970s by Dave Smith and sold to Yamaha Corporation in 1987.
Sequential Circuits was also pivotal in the planning, designing, and supporting of 1982's ground-breaking music technology: MIDI.
Sequential Circuits products are popular targets for simulation or emulation in software synthesizers, with companies such as Native Instruments and Creamware offering virtual instruments inspired by the Sequential designs.

 Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prophet 5 was an analog synthesizer manufactured by Sequential Circuits in San Jose, California between 1978 and 1984.
The Prophet 5 was groundbreaking in that it was one of the first analog synthesizers to implement patch memory, a feature which scanned the settings of every parameter on the synthesizer and stored it into internal memory.
Sequential Circuits also manufactured a double version of the Prophet 5 called the Prophet 10, which featured 10 voice polyphony and two keyboards, stacked on top of each other.

 Sequential Circuits Part-I
A sequential circuit is specified by a time sequence of inputs, outputs, and internal states.
Sequential circuits that have a clock signal as one of its inputs.
All state transitions in such circuits occur only when the clock value is either 0 or 1 or happen at the rising or falling edges of the clock depending on the type of memory elements used in the circuit.

 Sequential Circuits
A somewhat different circuit can yield an EDGE TRIGGERED FLIP-FLOP that does not require the input to be stable during the entire high part of the clock pulse (as this circuit does) but only that it be stable for a certain interval (the setup time) before the falling edge.
Sequential circuits have outputs that are a function of both current input and the history of the circuit - ie.
It is also possible to have a sequential circuit where the output is a function BOTH of the state and of the input.

 Sequential Circuits Part-II
Sequential circuit as seen in last page, is a combinational logic with some feedback to maintain current value, like a memory cell.
The equivalent circuit is same as having buffer with its output connected to its input.
Below circuit is same as the inverters connected back to back with provision to set the state of each gate (NOR gate with both inputs shorted is like a inverter).

 Introduction to Sequential Circuits
Sequential circuits use current input variables and previous input variables by storeing the information and putting back into the circuit on the next clock (activation) cycle.
For the clocked sequential circuits, the output pulse is the same duration as the clock pulse.
An important thing to note with sequential circuits is that duration of the activating pulse should be low enough so that the secondary inputs do not change state in same activating pulse.

 Design of Sequential Circuits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The design of a synchronous sequential circuit starts from a set of specifications and culminates in a logic diagram or a list of Boolean functions from which a logic diagram can be obtained.
In contrast to a combinational logic, which is fully specified by a truth table, a sequential circuit requires a state table for its specification.
The first step in the design of sequential circuits is to obtain a state table or an equivalence representation, such as a state diagram.

 Introduction to Sequential Circuits
Further, the circuit is unstable in this state; when one of the inputs returns to the false state, the remaining input determines the stable state and the output changes.
gate are false, and the output of the circuit is false.
If the combinational parts of a circuit could settle during the time the clock signal was true, and the storage part of the circuit sampled the input and saved the result when the clock changed from true to false, we would have no problems with hazards at the output nor with ones catching.

 Sequential circuits
The outputs of any of the circuits were determined by the combination of the inputs.
Sequential circuits have loops - these enable circuits to receive feedback.
They are to sequential circuits what truth tables are to combinational circuits.

 Synthesizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other circuits, such as waveshapers and ring modulators, can change the tonality in non-harmonic ways or create distortion effects which are often not found in natural sound sources.
The first practical polyphonic synth, and the first to use a microprocessor as a controller, was the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 introduced in 1978.
Their third version, the DX-7 (1983), was about the same size and weight as the Prophet-5, was reasonably priced, and depended on custom digital integrated circuits to produce FM tonalities.

 Sequential circuit test
Generating tests for sequential circuits is known to be a difficult problem, and existing automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) packages, both from university research and industry, can only deal with relatively small circuits.
Then, the commercial sequential ATPG tool is used to generate module level vectors for a transformed circuit which includes the synthesized constraints and the original embedded module.
Since this transformed circuit is much smaller (it only has logic relevant to the embedded module), commercial tools can develop high quality tests for this circuit in times which are significantly lower than when considering the entire circuit.

 Sequential Circuits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
For sequential circuits, the output depends on the sequence of inputs.
In most sequential circuits, the inputs are sequenced by connecting one or more of the outputs to the inputs of the circuit creating what is known as feedback.
One important parameter to consider when analyzing sequential circuits is the time taken for the output of the circuit to respond to a change in inputs, this is referred to as the propagation delay (t

 Techniques for Verifying Large Sequential Circuits
Verification of circuit implementations against their specifications (circuit descriptions at a higher level in the design hierarchy) is formulated as checking for containment of the specification state machine in the implementation state machine to ensure that all specified behavior is correctly implemented.
This model, extracted automatically, embodies the flow of control in a sequential circuit and is used to evaluate the control flow coverage of the simulation vectors used for design verification.
This paper presents a new verification methodology to prove that a high level HDL description of a synchronous sequential circuit satisfies certain desired behavior or that it is free of certain malicious behavior.

 Sequential circuits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In the same way that combinatorial circuits are generalizations of gates, sequential circuits are generalizations of flip-flops.
In general, we define a synchronous sequential circuit, or just sequential circuit as a circuit with m inputs, n outputs, and a distinguished clock input.
Since we are using D-flip-flops, the outputs of the circuit after the next clock pulse is exactly the same as the output of the combinatorial circuit.

 Analysis of Sequential Circuits
The behaviour of a sequential circuit is determined from the inputs, the outputs and the states of its flip-flops.
The suggested analysis procedure of a sequential circuit is set out in Figure 6 below.
When we reach this stage, we use either the table or the state diagram to develop a timing diagram which can be verified through simulation.

 Sequential Circuits
One can build a similar circuit from NOR gates - but we won't pursue this here.
C. One important characteristic of the flip flop we have been considering is that it is ASYNCHRONOUS - that is, the output changes almost instantaneously when the input changes.
Counters -- -------- A. Another interesting sort of sequential circuit is the counter - a register whose value goes up (or down) on each clock pulse.

 Design of Asynchronous Sequential Circuits
Systematic design of asynchronous sequential switching circuits and of communicating asynchronous circuits for generating or controlling concurrent discrete processes.
To the hazard problems that dominate the design of asyn chronous circuits, the need for synchronization between the circuits of an assemblage adds the problems of non- fundamental mode operation and arbitration.

The Prophet-5 was made by Sequential Circuits Inc. between 1977 and 1984.
The circuitry was developed by Dave Rossum's team at Solid State Microtechnologies (SSM) whose leader later founded EMU Systems, and the SSM2040 filter circuit has become renowned among synthesizer fans for its beautiful "so right" sound, which was essential to the Prophet's sonic versatility and appeal as a great-sounding instrument.
The earliest had 10 voices (20 oscillators) on 2 circuit boards but due to overheating they were untunable and 5 voices were removed (one voice board - the vacant connection for this 2nd voice board can still be seen).

Abstract: We suggest the use of a declarative programming language to design and describe circuits, concentrating on the use of higher-order functions to structure and simplify designs.
In order to describe sequential circuits, we use a language, ¯fp, which abstracts from temporal iteration.

 SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS - MULTITRAK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Other features of the MULTI_TRAK include a built-in multi-track sequencer, a chorus effect for richer sounds, a split keyboard, individual audio outputs for each voice, a cassette interface for program and sequence storage, and, of course, MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface).
For example, Sequential's Model 242 MIDI Interface Cartridge for the Commodore 64, and associated 900- series software, offers increased sequencer storage (up to 4000 notes), program and sequence storage on cassette or disc, and song transposition, as well as forthcoming music display and editing functions.
Finally, if you use a MIDI rhythm unit (such as the Sequential Model 400 Drumtraks), it sends a MIDI clock to the MULTI-TRAK sequencer, which synchronizes the MULTI-TRAK song to the drum song (or pattern).
