“Develop A Project on Flip-Flop LED Chaser Circuit”
ABSTRACT
As students in our third semester at SYIT, we find ourselves at a crossroads where the theories and
concepts of our textbooks yearn to leap off the pages and manifest in the tangible world of circuits
and electronics. At the heart of this educational juncture lies the Flip-Flop LED Chaser Circuit
microproject, a beacon of illumination that transcends the boundaries of classroom learning and
offers an exceptional educational experience.
Our mission is clear: to envision, craft, and breathe life into a Flip-Flop LED Chaser Circuit. This
circuit, a captivating display of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) choreographed to perform an
enchanting dance, is controlled by the mystical forces of flip-flops. Yet, the significance of this
project goes far beyond the flickering lights and wires that compose it.
Our educational voyage unfolds across four key dimensions:
1. Embarking on a Flip-Flop Journey: In this microproject, we embark on a journey into the
enigmatic realm of flip-flops. From the elementary D flip-flops to the versatile JK flip-flops,
we strive to unveil their inner workings and decode their role in the digital universe. This
endeavor establishes the bedrock upon which we will build our understanding of digital
logic and sequential circuits.
2. Deciphering the Digital Code: At the heart of our exploration is the realm of digital logic,
where we delve into the mechanics of logic gates - AND, OR, NOT, and their kin. We
immerse ourselves in the art of logic, learning how to weave together these electronic
threads to craft complex digital patterns.
3. Crafting with Precision: Our project is an artistic endeavor. We wield soldering irons like
brushes, and electronic components become the pigments of our creation. Selecting
components, soldering them skillfully, and intricately wiring them together is an art form
through which we transform knowledge into physical reality.
4. Venturing into Digital Artistry: For those of us who seek to push the boundaries, the
microcontroller beckons. A tool like Arduino enables us to delve into programming and
bring our LED chaser patterns to life with a flourish of code. It's where creativity meets
control, and innovation takes center stage.
Our toolkit is comprehensive, brimming with electronic components such as flip-flops, LEDs,
resistors, capacitors, power supplies, and connecting wires. Each component is not just a piece of
hardware; it is a building block that constructs the path to engineering mastery.
The canvas of possibilities is as vast as our imaginations. Some of us may elect to traverse the well-
trodden path, creating a basic LED chaser. Others may venture into the realm of digital
programming, authoring their own LED sequences, sculpting light to their creative whims.
In essence, the Flip-Flop LED Chaser Circuit microproject is more than an academic exercise; it is
a transformative journey. It is a bridge that connects bookish knowledge to practical dexterity,
awakening curiosity and kindling a passion for the hidden world of electrons and engineering.
With every LED pulsation, we step closer to the digital frontier. We become the architects of a
future where, as engineers, we shape the course of technology one LED at a time. This project is a
celebration of knowledge, an ode to creativity, and a testament to the power of hands-on learning. It
is a symphony of circuits and light, and we are the conductors of this fascinating educational
orchestra.
INTRODUCTION
In the ever-evolving realm of electronics and electrical engineering, there exists a rich
tapestry of concepts, principles, and practical applications that form the backbone of
modern technology. As students progress through their educational journey, the
exploration of these concepts takes center stage, enabling them to unlock the vast
potential of the digital world. The Flip-Flop LED Chaser Circuit microproject, designed for
students embarking on their third semester of the diploma program at SYIT (assuming
"SYIT" pertains to your esteemed institution), stands as a testament to this educational
voyage.
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
So far you have encountered with combinatorial logic, i.e. circuits for which the
output depends only on the inputs. In many instances it is desirable to have the
next output depending on the current output. A simple example is a counter,
where the next number to be output is determined by the current number stored.
Circuits that remember their current output or state are often called sequential
logic circuits. Clearly, sequential logic requires the ability to store the current
state. In other words, memory is required by sequential logic circuits, which can
be created with boolean gates. If you arrange the gates correctly, they will
remember an input value. This simple concept is the basis of RAM (random
access memory) in computers, and also makes it possible to create a wide variety
of other useful circuits. Memory relies on a concept called feedback. That is, the
output of a gate is fed back into the input. The simplest possible feedback circuit
using two inverters is shown below (Fig.1):
If you follow the feedback path, you can see that if Q happens to be 1 (or 0), it
will always be 1 (or 0). Since it's nice to be able to control the circuits we create,
this one doesn't have much use -- but it does let you see how feedback works. It
turns out that in "real" sequential circuits, you can actually use this sort of simple
inverter feedback approach. The memory elements in these circuits are called
flip-flops. A flip-flop circuit has two outputs, one for the normal value and one
for the complement value of the stored bit. Binary information can enter a flip-
flop in a variety of ways and gives rise to different types of flip-flops.
RS Flip-Flop

Characteristic Table:
Debounce circuit :
An elementary example using this flip-flop is the debounce circuit.
Suppose a piece of electronics is to change state under the action of a mechanical
switch. When this switch is moved from position S to R (S=0, R=1), the contacts
make and break several times at R before settling to good contact. It is desirable
that the electronics should respond to the first contact and then remain stable,
rather than switching back and forth as the circuit makes and breaks. This is
achieved by RS flip-flop which is reset to Q=0 by the first signal R=1 and
remains in a fixed state until the switch is moved back to position S, when the
signal S=1 sets the flip-flop to Q=1.

JK FLIP-FLOP:
The JK flip flop (JK means Jack Kilby, a Texas instrument engineer, who
invented it) is the most versatile flip-flop, and the most commonly used flip flop.
Like the RS flip-flop, it has two data inputs, J and K, and an EN/clock pulse
input (CP). Note that in the following circuit diagram NAND gates are used
instead of NOR gates. It has no undefined states, however. The fundamental
difference of this device is the feedback paths to the AND gates of the input, i.e.
Q is AND-ed with K and CP and Q’ with J and CP.
• If one input (J or K) is at logic 0, and the other is at logic 1, then the output is
set
or reset (by J and K respectively), just like the RS flip-flop.
• If both inputs are 0, then it remains in the same state as it was before the clock
pulse occurred; again like the RS flip flop. CP has no effect on the output.
• If both inputs are high, however the flip-flop changes state whenever a clock
pulse occurs; i.e., the clock pulse toggles the flip-flop again and again until the
CP
goes back to 0 as shown in the shaded rows of the characteristic table above.
Since this condition is undesirable, it should be eliminated by an improvised
form
of this flip-flop as discussed in the next section
History Of Flip-Flop
The first electronic flip-flop was invented in 1918 by William Eccles and F. W.
Jordon. It was initially called the Eccles–Jordan trigger circuit and consisted of
two active elements (vacuum tubes).
The flip-flop types (RS, D, T, and JK) were first discussed in a 1954 UCLA
course on computer design by Montgomery Phister and in his book Logical
Design of Digital Computers. The author was at the time working at Hughes
Aircraft under Dr. Eldred Nelson, who had coined the term JK for a flip-flop
which changed states when both inputs were on. The other names were coined
by Phister. They differ slightly from some of the definitions given below
The origin of the name for the JK flip-flop is detailed by P. L. Lindley, a JPL
engineer, in a letter to EDN, an electronics design magazine. The letter is dated
June 13, 1968, and was published in the August edition of the newsletter. In the
letter, Mr. Lindley explains that he heard the story of the JK flip-flop from Dr.
Eldred Nelson, who is responsible for coining the term while working at Hughes
Aircraft. Flip-flops in use at Hughes at the time were all of the type that came to
be known as J-K. In designing a logical system, Dr. Nelson assigned letters to
flip-flop inputs as follows: #1: A & B, #2: C & D, #3: E & F, #4: G & H, #5: J &
K
Latches
A fundamental RS latch constructed from two NOR gates is drawn in the figure
on the right as a cross-coupled pair; R and S stand for reset and set, respectively.
The stored bit is present on the output marked Q. In storage mode, the R and S
inputs are both low and do not affect the circuit. The positive feedback maintains
the Q and Q outputs in a constant state, with Q the complement of Q. If S is
pulsed high while R is held low, then the Q output is forced high, and stays high
even after S returns low; similarly, if R is pulsed high while S is held low, then
the Q output is forced low, and stays low even after R returns low
