In the paper, the problem of feedback loops identification in a digital circuit is discussed. The alternative of a circuit representation as a mathematical structure - labelled directed graph - is presented. It is shown how mutual interconnections between circuit elements can be analysed - relation and adjacency matrices will be used for this purpose. It will be presented how to detect feedback loops in the circuit by means of mathematical operations on relation and adjacency matrices. The set of sequences of elements, each sequence represented by the list of elements in feedback loops is the output of the methodology. The principles of the methodology will be illustrated on an example.
