SummarySummary

The 7474 is an integrated-circuit D The 7474 is an integrated-circuit D flip-flop. It has two synchronous flip-flop. It has two synchronous inputs, D and Cinputs, D and Cpp, and two , and two asynchronous inputs, Sasynchronous inputs, SDD and R and RDD. Q . Q changes to the level of D at the changes to the level of D at the positive edge of Cpositive edge of Cpp. Q responds . Q responds immediately to the asynchronous immediately to the asynchronous inputs regardless of the synchronous inputs regardless of the synchronous operations.operations.

SummarySummary

The J-K flip-flop differs from the S-R The J-K flip-flop differs from the S-R flip-flop because it can also perform a flip-flop because it can also perform a toggle operation. Toggling means toggle operation. Toggling means that Q flips to its opposite state.that Q flips to its opposite state.

The master-slave J-K slip-flop consists The master-slave J-K slip-flop consists of two latches: a master that of two latches: a master that receives data while the clock trigger receives data while the clock trigger is HIGH, and a slave that receives is HIGH, and a slave that receives data from the master and outputs it data from the master and outputs it to Q when the clock goes LOW.to Q when the clock goes LOW.
