FLIP FLOPS

SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT

1.  A sequential circuit is a circuit in which the output will depend on both present input and previous input


           2. The block diagram for sequential circuit is shown below

            

          3. In sequential circuit there are two blocks. They are:


1.      Combinational circuit
2.      Memory elements

4. The memory elements are devices which are used to store binary information.

5. The binary elements stored in memory elements at any given time define the state of sequential circuit.

6. There are two types of sequential circuits. They are:

1.      Synchronous sequential circuit
2.      Asynchronous sequential circuit

7.  A  Synchronous sequential circuit is a system whose behavior can be defined from the knowledge of signals at discrete instant of time.

8.  Asynchronous sequential circuit depends on the order in which the input signal change and can be effected at any instant of time.

9. Generally the synchronous sequential circuit that uses clock pulses as the input of memory elements is known as CLOCKED SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT.

10.The memory elements used in clocked sequential circuit are known as FLIP- FLOP.

11.The circuits are capable of storing one bit of information.


FLIP-FLOPS

·         A flip-flop circuit can maintain the binary state indefinitely, until the input signal      switches to another state.

·         A flip-flop circuit has the output in which one output is present in normal form and another output is present in compliment form.

·         There are different types of flip-flops. The difference between various types of flip-flops is in the number of input values.

·         A flip-flop can be designed by using NAND gate and NOR gate.

·         The basic flip-flop circuit using NAND gate and NOR gate is as shown below.






       ·         By using the basic flip flop we can design different types of flip flop
       ·         In basic flip flop the connection between two gates is known as “Crossed Couple”
       ·         Crossed couple means the output of one gate is given as the input of the second gate.
       ·         In flip flop there are two inputs. They are S for Set and R for Reset.
       ·         For flip flop there are two outputs. They are Q and Q’.
       ·         Here one of the output is present in normal form and another output is present in                  compliment form
       ·         This type of flip flop is known as “Direct Coupled RS Flip flop”.
