    Combinational Circuit

    Abstract:
    A Combinational Circuit consist of logic gates whose outputs
    at any instant of time are determined directly from the present
    combination of inputs without regard to previous input. Examples of
    combinational circuits: Adder, Subtractor, Converter, and
    Encoder/Decoder.

    Introduction:
    A combinational circuit is the digital logic circuit in which
    the output depends on the combination of inputs at that point of time
    with total disregard to the past state of the inputs. The digital logic
    gate is the building block of combinational circuits. The function
    implemented by combinational circuit is depend upon the Boolean
    expressions. On the other hand, sequential logic circuits, consists of
    both logic gates and memory elements such as flip-flops. Figure
    below shows the combinational circuit having n inputs and m outputs.
    The n number of inputs shows that there are 2^n possible
    combinations of bits at the input. Therefore, the output is expressed in
    terms m Boolean expressions.
    Technical Sections:
    These circuits are developed using AND, OR, NOT,
    NAND, and NOR logic gates. These logic gates are building blocks
    of combinational circuits. A combinational circuit consists of input
    variables and output variables. Since these circuits are not dependent
    upon previous input to generate any output, so are combinational
    logic circuits. A combinational circuit can have an n number of
    inputs and m number of outputs. In combinational circuits, the output
    at any time is a direct function of the applied external inputs .

    Applications of Combinational Circuits


    A combinational circuit is an electronic
    circuit in which the output depends on the present combination of
    inputs. Combinational circuits are used in digital electronics, such as
    computers, to perform operations on data.
    An example of a combinational circuit is a full adder, which takes two
    binary digits as input and produces a sum bit and a carry bit as output.
    Full adders are used in many digital devices, including calculators and
    computers.
    Another example of a combinational circuit is a multiplexer. A
    multiplexer takes several input signals and selects one of them to be
    passed to the output. Multiplexers are used in many applications,
    including data communication and computer memory.
    Combinational circuits can be made using various logic gates, such as
    AND gates, OR gates, and NOT gates.

    Types of Combinational Circuits


    There are three main types of combinational circuits: decoders,
    encoders, and multiplexers.

    1. Decoders are combinational circuits that convert binary code


    into a form that can be read by a human. For example, a decoder
    might take a four-bit binary number and convert it into a seven-
    segment display.
    2. Encoders are combinational circuits that convert information
    from one form to another. For example, an encoder might take a
    seven-segment display and convert it into a four-bit binary
    number.
    3. Multiplexers are combinational circuits that select one of several
    input signals and send it to the output. For example, a
    multiplexer might take four input signals and send only one of
    them to the output.

    Conclusion:
    When we connected some types of combinational
    circuits to the inputs/outputs of digital circuit, these combinational
    circuits can help us to manage and flow a different types of control
    signals through a large digital circuit. Many combinational circuits
    had a good function which can be used for controlling different
    parts of any digital system and they produce a suitable way to
    transfer a control signals between different digital components of
    any large digital system.
