    Flip-Flops And Related Devices

    This section covers flip-flops, including their types, operations, and applications in digital electronics.

  • 10.3

    R-S Flip-Flop

    The R-S flip-flop is a fundamental bistable circuit that stores one bit of digital information and has two stable output states: set (1) and reset (0).

  • 10.3.1

    R-S Flip-Flop With Active Low Inputs

    The R-S flip-flop with active LOW inputs uses NAND gates to hold and change states based on the set and reset inputs, facilitating binary information storage.

  • 10.3.2

    R-S Flip-Flop With Active High Inputs

    This section covers the operation of R-S flip-flops with active HIGH inputs, explaining their behavior, truth table, and the significance of avoiding forbidden input conditions.

  • 10.3.3

    Clocked R-S Flip-Flop

    The Clocked R-S Flip-Flop is a sequential circuit that changes its output state based on inputs synchronized with a clock pulse, effectively enabling controlled state changes.

  • 10.4

    Level-Triggered And Edge-Triggered Flip-Flops

    This section discusses the fundamental differences between level-triggered and edge-triggered flip-flops, explaining how they respond to clock signals.

  • 10.5

    J-K Flip-Flop

    The J-K flip-flop is a versatile bistable device that addresses the limitations of R-S flip-flops by allowing state toggling under specific input conditions.

  • 10.5.1

    J-K Flip-Flop With Preset And Clear Inputs

    The J-K flip-flop extends the functionality of R-S flip-flops with PRESET and CLEAR inputs, enhancing its utility in digital circuits.

  • 10.5.2

    Master–slave Flip-Flops

    Master-slave flip-flops prevent race conditions in clocked flip-flops by using two separate stages to process the clock signal, thus ensuring reliable state changes.
