DIGELEC1 (Finals) Flashcards
An example of a basic flip-flop is the
RS flip flop
RS flip flop is formed by
two cross-coupled NOR and NAND gate
How many outputs and inputs does an RS flip flop have
INPUT
- Reset
- Set
OUTPUT
- Q
- Not Q
In RS flip flop the outputs are always
opposite
In RS flip flop what input is described as “illegal” or “unallowed”
R = 1
S = 1
a device that serves as a temporary buffer memory. It is used to hold data after the input signal is removed.
Latch
Example of a latch device
D flip flop
The data are latched when the enable line is
Low
the output follows the input when the enable line is
High
It occurs when the output follows/is the same as the input only when the enable is active
Transparent latch
2 categories of binary counters
- Synchronous
- Asynchronous
The input clock pulse is first felt by the first flip-flop. The effect is not felt by the second flip-flop immediately because of the delay through the first flip-flop.
Asynchronous
Asynchronous counters are commonly referred to as
Ripple counter
a counter in which each stage is
clocked at the same time
Synchronous
Synchronous counter is also called
Parallel counter
have a modulus of ten, or ten states in their counting sequence. A common type of this counter is the BCD (8421) counter, which produces a binary-coded-decimal sequence
Decade counter
A counter than can
count in either direction through
a certain sequence.
up-down counter
up-down counter is also called
bidirectional counter
are constructed of flip-flops wired together.
shift register
The circuit whose output at any instant depends only on the input present at that instant only
Combinational circuit
