Flip Flops 3.2 Edge-Triggered Devices ◊Up to now we have looked at two digital values or states: 1 and 0 ◊There are also two dynamic digital values or states: ◊rising edge (positive edge) ◊falling edge (negative edge) positive edge negative edge 1 0 0

Flip Flops 3.3 Edge-Triggered Devices ◊Inputs to some devices will respond only to a dynamic state. ◊This is known as an edge input or a clock input. ◊The symbol is a triangle at the input. Positive Edge Negative Edge

Flip Flops 3.4 Edge-Triggering Notation ◊Positive Edge: ◊PGT (positive going transition) ◊PT (positive transition) ◊P ◊Negative Edge: ◊NGT (negative going transition) ◊NT (negative transition) ◊N

Flip Flops 3.5 Advantages of Edge-Triggered Devices ◊Edge-Triggered devices are important for many applications, including: ◊Counters ◊Clocks ◊Timers ◊Digital meters ◊Sequential circuits ◊Mathematical operations, … ◊Shift Registers ◊Memory ◊Data communications ◊Logic operations ◊Mathematical operations, …

Flip Flops 3.6 Edge-Triggered D Flip Flop ◊The edge-triggered D-Flip Flop will only read its input when the edge is received. ◊“With an enabling edge, the Q output follows the D input”.

Flip Flops 3.7 Edge-Triggered SR ◊The edge triggered SR is not very popular. ◊The only difference between the SR Latch and the edge-triggered SR is that it will read its input only when it receives the active edge.

Flip Flops 3.9 Edge-Triggered JK Flip Flop ◊The JK Flip Flop is a device that functions like an edge-triggered SR latch. ◊The only exception: toggle state on two active inputs. ◊Toggle means go to the complimentary (opposite) output state. This is a very useful function.

Flip Flops 3.11 Toggling Toggling has important applications including counters and frequency dividers. A “T” Flip-Flop has a clock input only. The output will toggle on an input edge. T Q Q Clk
