Flip-flop types, their Conversion and Applications

Difficulty Level : Easy ● Last Updated : 20 Apr, 2020

Flip-flop is a circuit that maintains a state until directed by input to change the state. A basic flip-flop can be constructed using four-N AND or four-NOR gates.

Types of flip-flops :

1. RS Flip Flop

2. JK Flip Flop

3. D Flip Flop

4. T Flip Flop

Logic diagrams and truth tables of the dif ferent t ypes of flip-flops are as follows:

S-R Flip Flop :

J-K Flip Flop:

D Flip Flop :

T Flip Flop :

 Let there be required flipflop to be constructed using sub-flipflop:

1. Draw the truth table of required flipflop.

2. Write the corresponding output s of sub-flipflop to be used from the excitation table.

3. Draw K-Maps using required flipflop input s and obtain excitation functions for sub-flipflop input s.

4. Construct logic diagram according to the functions obtained.
