2. Flip Flops 4.2 Input Types Flip-Flops have 2 types of inputs: ◊Synchronous ◊Waits for a clock input to change the state. ◊Asynchronous ◊Immediate change to the outputs without waiting for a clock pulse. Overrides the synchronous inputs.

3. Flip Flops 4.3 Examples of Asynchronous Inputs The preset and clear are asynchronous inputs. The J, K and Clock inputs are synchronous inputs.

4. Use of Asynchronous Inputs ◊Asynchronous inputs are used to force an immediate set or reset output to a single flip- flop or a group of flip-flops. ◊Active asynchronous outputs inhibit synchronous inputs. Flip Flops 4.4

8. Question ◊What often happens if the asynchronous inputs of a flip-flop are left floating? ◊Do asynchronous inputs need to be debounced? Flip Flops 4.8
