The operation of SR flipflop is similar to SR Latch. His circuit has two inputs S & R and two outputs Q(t) & Q(t)’. The circuit diagram of SR flip-flop is shown in the following figure. Whereas, SR latch operates with enable signal. SR flip-flop operates with only positive clock transitions or negative clock transitions. You can also implement these flip-flops by using NAND gates, as well. Now let us implement various flip-flops by providing the cross coupling between NOR gates. It will change its state only during a given clock cycle It will change its state as long as it is enabled Differences between latches and flip-flops In this module, let us discuss the following flip-flops using second method. In second module, you can directly implement the flip-flop, which is edge sensitive. So that the combination of these two latches become a flip-flop. In first method, cascade two latches in such a way that the first latch is enabled for every positive clock pulse and second latch is enabled for every negative clock pulse. You can implement flip-flops in two methods. Those are the basic building blocks of flip-flops. You covered about latches in the previous modules. Master-slave JK flip-flop constructed by using NAND gates.Differences between latches and flip-flops.The following figure shows the switching diagram of clocked SR flip flop.This site uses Just the Docs, a documentation theme for Jekyll. Switching diagram of clocked SR Flip flop So it is an indeterminate or invalid state. This is an impossible output because Q and Q’ should be complement with each other. For the same value of Q and Q’, output produced from NAND gate D is Q’ +1 = 1, where the inputs are R’ = 0 and Q = 1.įor this case, it is observed that the next state output Q +1 = 1 and Q’ +1 = 1. If Q = 1 and Q’ = 0, the output produced from the NAND gate C is Q +1 = 1 for the inputs S’ = 0 and Q’ = 0. The output produced from the NAND gate D is Q’ +1 = 1. Similarly, the two inputs for NAND gate D will be R’ = 0 and Q = 0. The D flip flop is similar to D latch except clock pulse followed by edge detector is used instead of enable input. The output produced from NAND gate C is Q +1 = 1. Like in D latch, in D flip-flop also, the basic SR flip flop is used with complemented inputs. Now, if Q = 0 and Q’ = 1, the inputs for NAND gate C will be S’ = 0 and Q’ = 1. Indeterminate or Invalid stateįor the inputs S = 1 and R = 1, the NAND gates A and B produces the output S’ = 0, R’ = 0. So, in this case, whether the present state output is either 0 or 1, the next state output is logic 1, which will SET the flip flop. Let’s Look at the circuit of Active High SR Flip Flop and work at it in Proteus ISIS. We know that Q is always opposite to Q’ hence we get the output as expected. When the S is 0, the output Q is 1 and vise versa. Thus the two inputs of NAND gate D are R’ = 1 and Q = 1, which produces an output Q’ +1 = 0. The Active High SR Flip Flops are the one in which the Set input and the output terminal Q collaborate with each other. When the clock pulse is applied, the output from the NAND gate A and B are S’ = 0, R’ = 1.įor this condition, irrespective of the present state input Q’, the next state output produced by the NAND gate C is Q +1 = 1. Truth table for clocked SR flip flop SET state Now, the tw0 inputs for NAND gate C are S’ = 1, Q’ = 1, which produces an output at next state as Q +1 = 0.įor this case, whether the present state is either 0 or 1, it will produce an output 0, which will RESET the flip flop. For any of these inputs at the NAND gate D, the next state output produced is Q’ +1 = 1. Let the present state output be Q = 0 or Q = 1. Upon the application of the clock pulse, the output of NAND gate A and B are S’ = 1, R’ = 0. For these inputs, the output produced by the NAND gate is Q +1 = 1, hence there is no change in the state.
Thus the state has no change.įor the same SR inputs, if Q = 1, Q’ = 0, the inputs for NAND gate C will be 0 and 1. The present state output is Q = 0 and the next state output is Q’ = 0. When the clock pulse is applied, the output of NAND gates A and B will be S’ = 1, R’ = 1.įor this case, if Q = 0, Q’ = 1, then both the inputs for NAND gate C are 1 and the output thus produced by gate C is Q +1 =0.
