Study Notes
Sequential Systems
- Sequential logic systems use feedback, where the previous output affects the output when inputs change.
- D-type flip-flops are components with two stable states (logic 0 or 1).
- They can be used for data transfer, latches, and counters.
- Data transfer happens on the rising edge of a clock pulse, copying the D input to the Q output.
- A latch keeps data stable until reset. A momentary press on a switch (rising edge) copies a logic 1 to the output Q; pressing a different switch (S2) resets the latch.
Data Transfer
- When a logic 1 signal is applied to the Clock input, the logic state of the D input is copied to the Q output.
- This transfer only occurs during the transition from logic 0 to logic 1 in the clock signal (rising edge).
- Subsequent changes to the D input are ignored until another rising edge.
Latches
- D-type flip-flops can be used to create latches.
- A continuous logic 1 on the D input keeps the Q output at logic 1 until a reset signal is applied.
- The latch can temporarily store data.
Binary Counters
- Used for counting events, like boxes on a conveyor belt.
- D-type flip-flops can be configured to divide the clock frequency by two.
- This means the output frequency is half of the input clock frequency.
- This is a simple frequency divider.
2-Bit Binary Up Counter
- A 2-bit counter consists of two 1-bit counters connected.
- The clock input of the second counter is connected to the Q output of the first.
- The counter counts up in binary.
- QA and QB outputs change sequentially as the clock pulses, starting at 00 and ending in 11.
Counter ICs
- Integrated circuits (ICs) that provide counter functions.
- More efficient for 3+ bit counters, reducing connections compared to multiple flip-flops.
- Counters can have up, down, up/down counting options; edge-triggered (rising/falling)
- Resetting a counter at a specific value is possible (active high/low reset).
Binary Count Types
- The number of bits determines the maximum count (e.g., 4-bit counts up to 15 in binary).
- Types exist for direction of counting (up/down), edge triggered (rising/falling), or binary coded decimal (BCD).
