FF vs. Latch • Latches and flip-flops (FFs) are the basic building blocks of sequential circuits. • latch: bistable memory device with level sensitive triggering (no clock), watches all of its inputs continuously and changes its outputs, independent of a clocking signal. • flip-flop: bistable memory device with edge-triggering (with clock), samples its inputs, and changes its output only at times determined by a clocking signal.
Edge triggered D Flip-Flop • A D FF combines a pair of D latches. Master/slave • D FF • Positive-edge-triggered D FF • Negative-edge-triggered D FF • Edge-Triggered D FF with Enable • Scan FF
Dynamic-input indicator Positive-Edge-triggered D flip-flop
D flip-flop timing parameters • Propagation delay (from CLK) • Setup time (D before CLK) • Hold time (D after CLK)
D FF with asynchronous inputs Force the D FF to a particular state independent of the CLK and D inputs. PR (Preset) and CLR (Clear)
Negative-edge triggered D FF • Simply inverts the clock input. Active low.
Negative-edge triggered D FF • Simply inverts the clock input. Active low.
Scan FF Scan flip-flops -- for testing • TE = 0 ==> normal operation • TE = 1 ==> test operation • All of the flip-flops are hooked together in a daisy chain from external test input TI. • Load up (“scan in”) a test pattern, do one normal operation, shift out (“scan out”) result on TO.
J-K flip-flops • Not used much anymore
T (toggle) flip-flops • A T FF changes state on every tick of the clock. (be toggled on every tick) • Q has precisely half the frequency of the T. • Important for counters • Positive-edge-triggered T FF
