What we have learnt
- Flip-flops are bistable circuits that store binary information.
- Each type of flip-flop has distinct triggering mechanisms and states.
- Master-slave configurations help prevent race conditions in flip-flops.
Key Concepts
- -- FlipFlop
- A bistable device that can remain in one of two stable states to store binary information.
- -- RS FlipFlop
- A basic binary storage device where 'R' stands for Reset and 'S' for Set, controlling the output states.
- -- EdgeTriggered FlipFlop
- A flip-flop that changes state only on the transition of a clock signal, ensuring stable outputs.
- -- MasterSlave FlipFlop
- A configuration of flip-flops that prevents race conditions by using one flip-flop to control when another can change state.
