Study Notes
Flip-Flop Overview
- Flip-flop is a digital memory circuit that maintains a state until input directs a change.
- Constructed using four NAND or four NOR gates.
- Operates in two states: logic 1 (high) and logic 0 (low).
- Functions as a bistable multivibrator, holding a single binary information state.
Types of Flip-Flops
- S-R Flip Flop
- J-K Flip Flop
- D Flip Flop
- T Flip Flop
S-R Flip Flop
- Utilizes preset (PR) and clear (CLR) inputs to establish initial state.
- Can toggle between states when power is switched on; uncertain initial state.
- Characteristic equation: QN+1 = QR' + SR'
Operations
- Case 1 (PR=CLR=1): Outputs respond normally to S, R, and CLK inputs.
- Case 2 (PR=0, CLR=1): Q is set to 1.
- Case 3 (PR=1, CLR=0): Q' is set to 1.
- Case 4 (PR=CLR=0): Indeterminate state.
J-K Flip Flop
- Comprises CLK, CLR, and PR inputs in its structure.
- Characteristic equation: QN+1 = JQ'N + K'QN
Operations
- Case 1 (PR=CLR=0): Invalid state.
- Case 2 (PR=0, CLR=1): PR activated, sets Q to 1.
- Case 3 (PR=1, CLR=0): CLR activated, sets Q' to 1.
- Case 4 (PR=CLR=1): Normal operation mode when PR and CLR are deactivated.
Race Around Condition
- Occurs when both J and K are high, causing rapid toggling of outputs.
D Flip Flop
- Contains a single data input (D), a clock input (CLK), and outputs Q and Q'.
- Characteristic equation: QN+1 = D
Operations
- Case 1 (PR=CLR=0): Invalid state.
- Case 2 (PR=0, CLR=1): Q is set to 1.
- Case 3 (PR=1, CLR=0): Q' is set to 1.
- Case 4 (PR=CLR=1): Normal operation mode.
T Flip Flop
- Comprises a data input (T), a clock input (CLK), and outputs Q and Q'.
- Functions based on toggling the output state with each clock pulse.
Conversion and Applications
- Flip-flops are essential in various applications such as memory storage, data transfer control, and timer circuits.
- Each type can be converted into another for specific functions in digital circuits, allowing flexibility in design and implementation.
