when S = 1, R = 0
Q is SET to 1 ( Q = 0)
when S = 0, R = 1
Q is RESET to 0 (
when S = 1, R = 1
= 1)

Edge-triggered devices
it is often necessary to synchronise many devices
this can be done using a clock input
such devices respond on a particular transition of the clock
these are called edge-triggered devices or flip-flops
can have positive-edge or negative-edge triggered devices
OHT 10.8
The D flip-flop
symbol as in previous slide
behaviour of positive-edge triggered device as below
Q becomes equal to D at the time of the trigger event

Asynchronous inputs
some flip-flops have asynchronous inputs

Counters
10.5
Ripple counters
can be constructed using several forms of bistable
consider the following arrangement
with J = K = 1 each bistable toggles on the falling edge
of its clock input

Modulo-N counters
by using an appropriate number of stages the earlier
counter can count modulo any power of 2
to count to any other base we add reset circuitry
e.g. the modulo-10 or decade counter shown here
OHT 10.23
OHT 10.24
OHT 10.25
Synchronous counters
these overcome the propagation delay in ripple
counters by connecting all the flip-flops to the same
clock signal
thus each stage changes state at the same time
additional circuitry is used to determine which stages
change state on each clock pulse
faster than ripple counters but more complex
available in many forms including up, down, up/down
and modulo-N counters

Key Points
Sequential logic circuits have the characteristic of memory
Among the most important groups of sequential
components are the various forms of multivibrator
