The JK flip-flop augments the behavior of the SR flip-flop (J = Set, K = Reset) by interpreting the J = K = 1 condition as a “flip” or toggle command. In my previous column, we introduced latches and ...

Now that we’ve introduced a JK flip-flop, let’s look at some circuits that we can create using it as the core element, including the T and D flip-flops. In my previous column, we started to look at ...

Digital design with combinatorial gates like AND, OR, and NOT gates is relatively straightforward. In particular, when you use these gates to form combinatorial logic, the outputs only depend on the ...

Just as in comedy, timing is essential to the success of a microcomputer design. Often it is quite possible to get one system functioning by simply interconnecting the various compo­nents. But it is ...
