5.1. Flip-Flops

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does a flip-flop store?

   Hint

   Think about how binary values work (0 and 1).

2. 2.

   What state does an SR flip-flop enter when Set is activated?

   Hint

   Remember the function of the Set input.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of a flip-flop?

   • Storage of analog data
   • Storage of binary data
   • Processes signals

   Hint

   Recall what types of data flip-flops work with.

4. 4.

   True or False: A D flip-flop changes its output state when D goes high.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about how D flip-flops work at clock edges.

5. 5.

   Design a simple circuit using at least two types of flip-flops and describe the function.

   Hint

   Consider how different flip-flops can work together for complex functions.

6. 6.

   Explain how you would use T flip-flops to create a 3-bit binary counter and draw the state transitions.

   Hint

   Visualize each flip-flop's output as contributing to the overall count.
