Flipflop Conversions
The purpose is to convert a given type A FF to a desired type B FF using some conversion
logic.
The key here is to use the excitation table, which shows the necessary triggering signal (S,R,
J ,K, D and T) for a desired flipflop state transition :
Exampl e 1: Convert a D-FF to a T-FF:
We need to design the circuit to generate the triggering signal D as a function of T and Q:
. Consider the excitation table:

Treating as a function of and current FF state , we have
Exampl e 2: Convert a RS-FF to a D-FF:
We need to design the circuit to generate the triggering signals S and R as functions of and
. Consider the excitation table:
The desired signal and can be obtained as functions of and current FF state from
the Karnaugh maps:
