Introduction:
The combinational circuit does not use any memory. Hence the previous state of input
does not have any effect on the present state of the circuit. But sequential circuit has
memory so output can vary based on input. This type of circuits uses previous input,
output, clock and a memory element.
Definition:
A sequential circuit is a circuit made up by combining logic gates such that the required
logic at the output(s) depends not only on the current input logic conditions but
also on the past inputs, outputs and sequences.
In order to provide the previous input or output a memory element is required to be
used.
Thus a sequential circuit needs memory elements.

Present state:
The data stores by the memory elements at any given instant of time is called as the
present state.
Next State:
The combinational circuit operates on the external inputs and the present state to
produce new outputs. Some of these new outputs are stored in the memory element and
called as the next state of the sequential circuits.

It has two stable states namely logic 1 state and logic 0 state. We can design it
either using NOR gates or NAND gates.
They are capable of storing 1- bit of information. These single bit logic elements
are called as flip-flops.
A flip-flop can be designed by using the fundamental circuits. NAND gates 1 and 2
are basically acting as inverters. Hence the circuit is called as a cross coupled
inverter.
