Multiple choice

Race condition may exist in which sequential circuit?

  1. Synchronous sequential circuit

  2. Asynchronous sequential circuit

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Race conditions occur in asynchronous sequential circuits because inputs can change at different times and signals propagate through paths of different delays without a clock to synchronize them. Synchronous circuits use a clock to ensure all state changes occur simultaneously, eliminating race conditions.
