Flip Flops and Counters: Digital Logic Design Laboratory

This document describes a lab experiment on flip flops and counters in digital logic design. The objectives are to understand flip flop operation, design circuits using flip flops, and create counters. The lab procedures involve investigating JK and D flip flops, converting between them, and designing asynchronous and synchronous up/down counters with 2-3 bits. Students are instructed to implement the circuits in simulation software and show the results.

I. Objectives

In this laboratory, students will study:


- Understand the operation of Flip Flops.
- Use a Flip Flops and design/implement a circuit based on a function definition.
- Design a counter based on Flip Flops

II. Procedure

1. Investigate Flip Flops (FF)


Flip flops are one of the most fundamental electronic components. These are used as
one-bit storage elements, clock dividers and it can make counters, shift registers and
storing registers by connecting the flip flops in particular sequences.

a. JK- Flip Flops


Given the JK Flip Flop as shown in Figure 1. The J-K flip-flop is the most versatile of
the basic flip-flops. It has two inputs, traditionally labeled J and K. If J and K are
different then the output Q takes the value of J at the next clock edge.

0 0 ↑ 0

0 1 ↑ 1
1 0 ↑ 0
𝑄 (toggle)
1 1 ↑ 0

What is the usage of and ?

(present) to set a state

(clear) input drives into reset state

b. D- Flip Flops
The D flip-flop tracks the input, making transitions with match those of the input D.
The D stands for "data"; this flip-flop stores the value that is on the data line. It can be
thought of as a basic memory cell.
