Flip-flop types, their Conversion and Applications

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-NAND 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 different types of flip-flops are as follows:

S-R Flip Flop :

J-K Flip Flop:
D Flip Flop :

T Flip Flop :

Steps To Convert from One FlipFlop to Other :

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

  1. Draw the truth table of the required flip-flop.
  2. Write the corresponding outputs of sub-flipflop to be used from the excitation table.
  3. Draw K-Maps using required flipflop inputs and obtain excitation functions for sub-flipflop inputs.
  4. Construct logic diagram according to the functions obtained.
