Clocked vs Unclocked circuit:

Sequential circuits are categorized into two main types: synchronous (clocked) and asynchronous (unclocked). The main difference between the two is the timing of their signals:

1)Synchronous (clocked) circuits

Digital circuits that use clock signals to determine the timing of their operations. They are commonly used in digital systems to implement timers, counters, and memory elements.

2)Asynchronous (unclocked) circuits

Digital circuits that don't use a clock signal to determine the timing of their operations.

Example of Asynchronous circuit :
