6. Basic Building Blocks of Latch and Flip Flop
The chapter provides an in-depth exploration of basic digital components such as latches and flip-flops, outlining their functions and interconnections. It discusses types of flip-flops, including D, JK, and T flip-flops, emphasizing their applications in constructing various digital storage elements. Additionally, it covers asynchronous and synchronous inputs, counting mechanisms through counters, and the significance of registers and presets in digital systems.

What we have learnt
- Latches and flip-flops are fundamental building blocks of digital systems.
- Difference between synchronous and asynchronous inputs affects how output is sensed.
- Registers and counters play crucial roles in data storage and manipulation in digital circuits.
Key Concepts
- -- D FlipFlop
- A simple memory device that captures the value of the data input at a transition of a clock signal.
- -- JK FlipFlop
- A type of flip-flop that can toggle its output based on the values of the inputs J and K, facilitating more complex control in sequential circuits.
- -- Counter
- A digital device that counts pulses and can be configured to count up or down and in a binary or a decade manner.
- -- Register
- A storage device within a digital circuit that holds information temporarily for processing.
- -- Asynchronous Input
- An input that immediately affects the output regardless of the clock signal, such as the preset and clear inputs.
