What Sequential circuits means in Physics A-Level, as defined for AQA.
Definition of Sequential circuits
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Sequential circuits in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: AQA
Systems such as latches and flip-flops that are analysed by treating each gate as a block with defined behaviour.
