2022BCSE07AED623 SEC-AI/ML(D) Introduction to Flip Flops • A flip flop is an electronic circuit with two stable states that can be used to store binary data. • The stored data can be changed by applying varying inputs. • Flip Flops and latches are fundamental building blocksof digital electronic systems used in computers, communications and other types of systems. Types of Flip- Flops • They are 4 types of Flip-Flops in digital electronics. • SR Flip-Flop • JK Flip-Flop • D Flip-Flop • T Flip-Flop • Let us understand more about types of Flip- Flops: SR Flip- • It is a flip-flop with two inputs one is S and other is R. S here is stands for Set and R here is Flop stands for Reset. • Set basically indicates set the flip flop which means output 1 and reset indicates resetting the flip flop which means output 0. • Here clock pulse is supplied to operate this flip flops, hence it is clocked flip flop. • It can store one bit of data and is commonly used in asynchronous circuits. JK Flip- Flop • It is one kind of sequential logic circuit. Which stores binary information in bitwise manner. • It consists of two inputs and two outputs. Inputs are Set(J) C Set(K) and their corresponding outputs are Q and Q'. • JK Flip flops has two modes of operation which are synchronous mode and asynchronous mode. • In synchronous mode, the state will be changed with the clock(clk) signal, and in asynchronous mode change of state will be independent from its clock signal. D Flip- Flop • The d flip flop, also known as "delay flip flop" or "data flip flop" which is used to store single bit of data. • D flip flops are asynchronous or synchronous. • The clock signal required for the synchronous version of d flip flops but not for the asynchronous one. • The D flip flop has two inputs, data and clock input which controls the flip flop. T Flip- Flop • T flip-flop is known as Toggle flip- flop because it can able to toggle its output depending upon the input. • Toggle basically indicates that the bit will be flipped either from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1. • Here, a clock pulse is supplied to operate this flop, hence it is a clocked flip-flop.
